Congratulations to the Award Winner – Nathan Crowley, Axis Plumbing
Nathan is currently employed by Axis Plumbing and is studying at the Service Trades College. His employer describes him as always smiling and an individual who never has to be told twice. He considers this career path to be the best decision he’s ever made and looks forward to finishing his plumbing apprenticeship with his sights set on sprinkler fitting in the future.
“I enjoy learning new things which keeps me interested and engaged at work, to be recognised for that is a great feeling. I think Axis Plumbing as a company has to take credit for this win also. All the workers on our job really take the time to make sure I understand what I’m doing and why I’m doing it, which makes it a great company to work for.”
