Rob Lewis said: “We are very proud of Connor’s achievement. He has demonstrated his excellent skills as an apprentice technician and has shown professionalism, maturity and enthusiasm. We are delighted to have him working with us and I am thrilled that Mr Robertson had the opportunity to meet him.

"Bristol Street Motors Cheltenham Ford is a successful business in a thriving area so having our MP come and visit and show us some support has been great"

I was particularly pleased that Connor Reid had won the Apprentice of the Year Award, which is a great achievement. There is obviously a lot of enthusiasm among the staff at the company and it’s obvious that Connor shares that commitment. I wish him and all the team the very best!”
