I sent out this story today - very inspiring.
Craig Welford (23) from Great Yarmouth, Greenkeeper at De Vere Dunston Hall, near Norwich is the East of England’s Apprentice of the Year. He received the accolade at Bright Sparks 09, the annual Apprenticeship Awards event organised by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC). Craig automatically goes forward to the national judging process. National winners will be announced on Thursday 16 July.
Craig Welford, who has worked at Dunston Hall for three years said: "I had no GCSEs and was lacking in confidence when I managed to get a summer job at Dunston Hall, travelling by public transport from Great Yarmouth. I put my heart and soul into the job and was really pleased to be taken on as a trainee to do NVQ2 in Greenkeeping. It is fantastic to receive the LSC award, a great boost to my plans, as I begin to study NVQ3. My ultimate ambition is to become a Head Greenkeeper."
