Foxwood Diesel’s award-winning apprentice, Leigh Worsdale, has recently been on an all-expenses-paid trip to Seattle after winning the trip at AMRC Training Centre’s 2017 ‘Apprentice of the Year’ Awards.
The trip to Seattle was Leigh’s prize for winning the overall Apprentice of the Year at the awards and, as part of the trip, Leigh delivered a number of presentations about her role and award win to interns across the city. An extremely tight, jam-packed schedule kept Leigh busy over the five-day trip and Tim Wheeler, Industrial Engagement Manager at Boeing Defence UK, was her chaperone.
Leigh commented on her trip: “It’s incredibly difficult to pick a favourite part from the Seattle visit because I really did love it all. I liked having a bit of downtime in the city and really enjoyed having a sailing lesson across the lake. It was also a fantastic experience to visit the Boeing factory over there, so I could see exactly how the planes are manufactured.
I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Seattle, it was an experience I’ll never forget. I was treated like a VIP throughout and it was lovely to be rewarded for all of the hard work I’ve put in over the last year.

Another part of the prize was an invite to the RIAT (Royal International Air Tattoo) Air Show as a VIP from David Pitchforth, Managing Director of Boeing Defence UK. Leigh’s father, and Managing Director of Foxwood Diesel, Ken Worsdale also received an invite along with Leigh's mother and sister.
