The ceremony, held near Selby in North Yorkshire, brought together apprentices from across the company’s UK operations to celebrate the outstanding contribution they have made to Drax. The big winner of the night was Josh Smith, 28, from Oban, for his work at Drax’s iconic ‘Hollow Mountain’ Cruachan Power Station. Not only did he bag the Apprentice of the Year (Year 4 Craft) award, but he also walked away with the ‘Paul Chambers Outstanding Achievement Award 2023,’ the biggest prize on offer at the event. …Other young apprentices from across Drax were also recognised at the event. One of the hosts for the evening was Ian Kinnaird, Drax’s Scottish Assets Director, who praised the work of all those involved.
