Congratulations to Sir Robert McAlpine's Student Engineer Andrew Smales, Social Value Lead Anjana Raj and Trainee Quantity Surveyor Rebecca Pardue who were recognised for their exceptional work and contributions to the construction industry at the Generation4Change (G4C) North East awards in Newcastle last week.
The judges faced a difficult task this year, as the quality of the nominees was extremely high. They praised each individual for their remarkable talent and acknowledged that all employers should be incredibly proud of their nominees.
