They both received the Kevin Clarke Award in memory of a former CWA electrical apprentice who was killed in a car accident in 1984.

His parents, John and Janet, recognise two electrical apprentices each year in his honour.

The two winners of this year’s awards each received a £75 tool voucher, donated by Edmundson Electrical Wholesalers.

Harry said: “Since I was younger, I’ve always wanted to do an apprenticeship.

"I would say to anyone who wants to study an apprenticeship to go for it as you gain the experience you need while learning on the job and earning a wage.”

Amber said: "The skills that I’ve learnt on my apprenticeship have been amazing. It’s really helped me and helped me to decide what I want to do with my life.”

The awards coincided with National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) 2021, which runs from February 8 to 14.
