Apprentice Wins Award

Press Release:-

LOCAL ELECTRICAL APPRENTICE WINS AWARD

An apprentice with Fallin-based electrical contractor Stirling Electrical Services Ltd. has won the Apprentice Of The Year award, following in the footsteps of company director, Scott McLean.

Murray Smith from Alva has been awarded the Apprentice Of The Year award for 2^nd year electrical apprentice work at Clackmannan College by electrical training organisation, the Scottish Electrical Charitable Training Trust (SECTT).

The award for Murray follows a similar award to Stirling Electrical Services Ltd. owner Scott McLean in 1993 when he was awarded 1^st year electrical Apprentice of the Year for Central, Fife and Perthshire Areas by SECTT.

Murray was presented with his award at a recent awards event in Perth and speaking afterwards, owner Scott McLean said “This is a fantastic achievement for Murray and is justified recognition for the dedication and hard work he has put in over the past two years. Murray has now set a good base for his future training and opportunities for development within the company over the coming years.

Having benefited from a good apprenticeship myself, I understand the importance an employer can play in the development and training of apprentices and how apprentices play an important role in the development and shaping of a company. Stirling Electrical Services Ltd. has grown steadily over the past twelve years, and I believe that this award is not only recognition for Murray but also to our other electricians and apprentices who have all played a part in the growth of the company.”
