The two-day welcome brought together new apprentices, graduates and trainees from across the country, offering them the opportunity to network, learn about the business, and engage with senior leaders including CEO Bill Hocking, CFO Kris Hampson, Divisional Managing Director for Infrastructure David Lowery and HR Director Vikki Skene.
