R
ising star Marc McQuade was thrilled to be named the SJIB/
Edmundson Apprentice of the Year winner at the SELECT Awards 2019.
Marc, 26, who works with long-
established firm Weir & McQuiston, was praised for his vision and his values as he collected the honour. The award celebrates the next
generation of the industry and showed once again that the sector’s future is in safe hands. Daniel Begg, who works with Moray Council, and Kevin Durning, of Glasgow’s HF Electrical, were also shortlisted for the prize. Delighted Marc, from Wishaw, said: “This is a tremendous event for me but it also reflects the values of Weir & McQuiston, which was willing to give me opportunities that I was more than ready to accept. My managers and the
teams I work with have made it clear to me that they hold me in high regard. “Speaking as someone who has only been with the firm for a relatively short period of time, that is something that I greatly appreciate.” The award was presented to Marc
by SJIB Chairman Jock Simpson and Gary Mason, from Edmundson Electrical. They also handed certificates to the other finalists. SJIB Secretary Fiona Harper said: “It is a particularly exciting time for young people to become part of the electrotechnical industry. “Standards and technology are constantly improving, as are working practices and attitudes towards the environment. “Marc is very typical of the quality of new entrants that we need in the sector. He has strong family values and
also has a vision of where he wants his career to take him. I don’t doubt that he will more than achieve his goals and ambitions.”
