Staffordshire Training Services’ Director, Gareth Hassall, said: “Carly’s attitude, proactive approach to learning and willingness to support others meant she excelled personally, but also as a source of encouragement to the other candidates. She was open to sharing her own experiences, providing motivation and demonstrating that women have an important and growing role to play in the future of the industry.”

It is no surprise as I see the recognition she receives regularly from colleagues, customers, installers and many others. She has worked so hard for everything she has achieved in her career as an engineer in the trade. She is quite rightly getting recognised for all these efforts. Everyone at Baxi is proud of her. She is an asset to the business. Well done and congratulations Carly!”
