We are over the moon to be supporting the CPA UK Stars of the Future awards in its landmark 10th year anniversary event. M O’Brien Plant hire are sponsoring the Plant Mechanic of the year and College of the year categories and will be handing over the prizes to winners at tomorrows awards ceremony.

This is M O’Brien’s first year being involved in the Stars of the Future awards, having followed with a keen interest in recent years and are very impressed with how it has become a premier event for showcasing the young talent that is coming through in the plant industry. Even more impressive again, is the amount of candidates put forward for these awards. It’s so encouraging to know that the opportunities to join our apprentice programs are being utilised to the full potential.

Encouraging the next generation to enter the exciting world of construction is something we feel very passionate about, and this special event showcases the emerging talent within the construction industry. It is very important that events like this take place, it gives recognition to the nominees, their hard work and the commitment it takes to pursue the various career paths that the construction industry has to offer. It allows us to showcase these career opportunities and encourage new apprentices to join the exciting programs that all of the employers involved with stars of the future have to offer, and keep closing the skills gap within our sector.
