Dave Roffe, apprentice trainer at MidKent College, said “All six BorgWarner apprentices have demonstrated a keen interest and excellent attitude. They have also shown some significant improvements over their training programme with some exceptional results. They take part in group discussions and make relevant contributions. Overall, they are a credit to themselves and their employer. A group award for Apprentice of the Month would be very well deserved.”
