We’re delighted to see Liam recognised at a regional level by JTL. Liam has consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, technical ability, and a highly positive attitude.
He is a credit to both himself and the Company, and we’re incredibly proud to have him representing the North West and Thompsons at the National Awards. Well done Liam
Congratulations Liam! 🎉
Electrical apprentice Liam Rufus has been named as the North West Regional Rising Star, sponsored by Dovetail and Slate, as part of the JTL Regional Awards 2026!
Liam, who is completing their apprenticeship with JTL and employed by Thompson Building Services Engineers, has been recognised for their technical excellence, commitment to learning and the contribution they have made both on-site and in training.
Liam said:
“Being named a regional winner is a proud moment for me. I’ve learned so much during my apprenticeship and worked hard to get here, so it’s rewarding to have that recognised. I’m grateful for the support I’ve received and excited for the National Awards.”
Our prestigious JTL National Apprenticeship Awards ceremony will take place on Wednesday 10th June at Plaisterers Hall in London, with headline sponsors Milwaukee Tool UK and Baxi At Home. This National Awards programme is our annual opportunity to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of our apprentices, teaching staff and employers from around the country.
A special thank you to our Rising Star category sponsor, Dovetail and Slate, and our national sponsor, Click Scolmore, for supporting and celebrating apprentice achievement.
Please join us in wishing Liam the very best of luck as they represent the North West in the national final!
