I’m delighted to have won this award amongst an impressive shortlist of fellow project professionals within the north-west.

From developing innovative solutions to complex projects to improving my stakeholder engagement skills, my project management degree apprenticeship at Sellafield Ltd has provided me with many opportunities to develop both professionally and personally.

It is great to see my hard work recognised by the APM in the final year of my apprenticeship. I hope to round off the four year programme with a win at the national finals next month!
