Finalist

Andrew Bennett

Andrew Bennett is determined not to let dyslexia and losing his sight in one eye stand in the way of a successful career. The 51-year-old recycling advisor from Abergele has achieved a Foundation Apprenticeship in Sustainable Recycling Activities, and is now working towards an apprenticeship and mentoring his workmates. 

Andrew’s progression has secured him a promotion to acting supervisor with Colwyn Bay based Bryson Recycling, who have invested in his job-related training.

Andrew, who has been supported by his employer and learning provider Cambrian Training, said,

I have developed an appetite for learning that I never thought I would and have moved on to an apprenticeship to give me the opportunity to succeed in my career.”
