On top of rewarding companies as a whole, there are various accolades available for individuals within these businesses who go above and beyond, achieving and even setting some of the highest standards in the industry. Lee Gillett, second year apprentice fitter at GAP’s Plant & Tool depot in Motherwell, is up for the Young Apprentice of the Year award.

Due to current restrictions, the awards ceremony will be held virtually and livestreamed on Thursday 20 May featuring an acceptance speech video from the winner of each category.

Karen Greenshields, Technical & Environmental Services Managing Director at GAP, stated: "As always, GAP is beyond delighted to be acknowledged at the incredibly respected Hire Awards of Excellence.
