Congratulations to the Eastern Counties 2007 Award Winners
The Eastern counties building services engineering sector paid tribute to apprentice talent in the region at a glittering awards ceremony held on Tuesday 23 October.  Winners in five categories collected a crystal engraved trophy and certificate from special guest Michael Dillon, local horse trainer and ex-Spurs footballer.

The Awards, held for the second year at the prestigious British Horse Racing School in Newmarket, recognise and nurture talented trainees within the heating, ventilating, plumbing, refrigeration and air conditioning industries. 

Ivor Rowley, SummitSkills' Operations Manager for the Eastern counties, commented: "The success and level of excellence demonstrated by the winners underlines the impressive attitude that is within our sector.  The trainees have all shown a commitment and determination to be key contributors to the sector".
