Expressing his delight, Joshua Harvey said: “Since the start of my apprenticeship, I've worked hard every day, both on-site and in college, so to have won this prize makes me proud and has given me a big confidence boost as I enter my final year of my apprenticeship."

He added: "I'd like to thank everyone at Arc-Tech (Scotland) for welcoming me to the team and helping me develop my skills. I also want to thank my lecturers, friends and colleagues I've met along the way, who have made my apprenticeship a really enjoyable experience."

John Gallacher, Managing Director of Arc-Tech (Scotland), commented: “On behalf of the Board of Directors and our Senior Management teams, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Joshua on receiving this prize. It is a reward for his hard work and dedication, and very well deserved."

Gallacher highlighted the company's commitment to apprentice development: "This is the second consecutive year that one of our apprentices has been individually recognised. This is a testament to our senior staff who dedicate their time to help our apprentices flourish into highly skilled tradespeople, which helps to serve Arc-Tech (Scotland) as a business and the wider industry. I hope Joshua's success entices more young people to Building Services, and I look forward to keeping up with our apprentices as they enter a new academic year later in the summer."
