We’re proud to celebrate Sonny Humberstone from Balfour Beatty as our April Apprentice of the Month! Nominated by his support coach Charlotte, Sonny has impressed everyone with his commitment, self-motivation, and determination to succeed - no matter the challenge.
Recently, Sonny was required to attend a mandatory SSSTS training course, meaning he had to miss three weeks of lessons. But rather than fall behind, Sonny rose to the challenge. Charlotte shared:
“Sonny recently missed three weeks of lessons due to a planned mandatory training course he could not miss for his SSSTS course. Despite this, he still ensured he caught up with lessons, liaised with me and his tutor, and engaged where he could.”
This dedication really showed in his latest assignment - which Charlotte described as nothing short of outstanding:
“It really was exceptional. The standard of work was next level, and despite missing lessons and never using AutoCAD before - therefore having to teach himself in his spare time - his capability and eagerness to achieve well really did shine through.”
Sonny’s willingness to take initiative, teach himself new skills, and maintain a high standard of work while balancing professional responsibilities is incredibly impressive. It’s clear that he’s not only gaining technical knowledge but also developing the work ethic and resilience that will serve him well throughout his career.
“Sonny really is a great kid that will go very far in his career and life!” Charlotte added.
Congratulations, Sonny – your hard work, independence, and drive have truly earned you this recognition. Keep it up!
