What impressed the panel was not only the commitment, recognition and clearly conveyed account made by Senghan of his occupation, industry and employer, but the fact that it was delivered in a very natural, humble but engaging way. The final award of the event was the Judges’ Special Award, and the winner was Scott Laurenson of EMN Plant . In deciding a worthy winner for this special award, the judges wanted to reward the apprentice who showed not only a commitment to their trade but also someone who gives something back to their industry and society in general. What marked Scott out to the judges was not only his commitment to formal training - flying from the Scottish island where he lives to Glasgow on a regular basis - requiring weeks away from home to undertake his college studies, but also a real sense of community as he is a retained firefighter in his local area. Kevin Minton, CPA Chief Executive said: “We would like to congratulate all the nominees and winners of Stars of the Future for 2020. We were absolutely delighted to have over 130 attendees join us online. Although we weren’t able to meet the nominees and winners this year and personally hand over their certificates, glass awards and prizes, this doesn’t in any way diminish their achievements. We are in the process of sending out prizes to all winners and we hope they will serve them well during their careers. On behalf of the CPA team, may we congratulate you and wish you every success.” For a full review of Stars of the Future, please see our special commemorative brochure featured as a supplement with this issue of the CPA Bulletin.
