The winner this year was Charlotte Hodge, 19 from Northampton. Charlotte won the award thanks to her dedication to the course and willingness to go the extra mile, never missing a deadline and achieving distinctions in her coursework.
Lee Walters, Employee Development Manager at HPP in Brixworth, Northamptonshire explained that each year the company took on up to ten apprentices as machinists, assembly or test technicians. After the first year they progressed on to Higher National Certificates with a view to developing them as engineers. The team at HPP benefits from great terms and conditions working in the most competitive and high-tech environment in global motorsport.
A video shown to the students explained how HPP is at the forefront of modern engine design including the Hybrid Energy Recovery System.
Lee added: “We want young people to step up and believe they can be good enough to be part of our World Class team.”
