Meet our Outstanding Apprentice of the Year

We are delighted to announce that Johnathan Dodd is our 2022 Outstanding Apprentice of the Year.

To win such a prestigious award means the world to me. Not only having recognition of how the apprenticeship has developed me as a person, but how the learning has enabled me to take a fresh approach at problems and implement new services to ensure mariners around the world are kept safe every day. This award will give me the confidence to continue to strive for excellence and look at new ways to approach my personal and professional life. I believe this would also show as an example to my team and colleagues what can be accomplished and how it can be recognised.

Feels fantastic to receive the recognition for my hard work during the apprenticeship, and is also a great reward for those who supported me over my time as an apprentice. It feels even better to be here representing my organisation who has created a strong culture of developing their people.
