They received their awards as part of a competition by the Institute of Road Transport Engineers on Thursday, July 18, at Mercedes-Benz World in Weybridge.

Mr Fleming was delighted with his win and said: “I thought I did well in the competition, but it was still a surprise to win an award. It’s nice to be appreciated for the hard work I’ve put in over my three-year apprenticeship.”
