Congratulating the Apprentice of the Year

  • Monday December 20, 2021

The IHE is once again honoured to have sponsored the Apprentice of the Year category at the 2021 Highways Awards, which this year we held as an in-person event at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on 20 October.

The event was attended by more than 500 people and was a great opportunity to recognise all of the stars of our sector.

The Apprentice of the Year category was the first award of the evening and the winner, Ella Northey, is an EngTech who works for Balfour Beatty. The presentation of the award was made on stage by IHE senior vice president Martin Polland.

Apprentice of the Year is awarded to an individual working in the highways industry for the first time who has made a considerable contribution in the workplace. Following the awards, Martin Polland commented: ‘The IHE is proud to continue to sponsor this award and our sincere congratulations go to Ella for winning this year.’
