Craig Hayes is this year’s Apprentice of the Year.
The 21 year old from Cedar Court, Martock, was presented with the award at the Royal Bath & West Show last week by the Rt Hon Lord Waldegrave of North Hill, the President of the Royal Bath & West of England Society.
The prestigious BAGMA (British Agricultural and Garden Machinery Association) Award is presented at the Show each year, identifying the top apprentice in the Western region and recognising their individual efforts as an apprentice.
Craig started his career in agricultural engineering while still at school by undertaking a work experience programme with Medland, Saunders and Twose in Yeovil which turned into an offer of a full apprenticeship when he left school.
A year into his apprenticeship MST Yeovil were taken over by Highwood, now the main Massey Ferguson dealers for Somerset and Dorset. Craig has now completed his apprenticeship and Highwood consider him a key player in the development of their business.
Craig has attended the Massey Ferguson apprentice training programmes based at their Banner Lane Training School and at college where he has passed City & Guilds qualifications at Level 2 and 3 as well as attending numerous technical training courses.
Outside of work Craig is active in helping others – he recently took part in a sponsored sailing event in aid of the local Air Ambulance.
Craig said he was delighted to receive his award and is looking forward to furthering his career in the future.
