Bethany Cousins, a Manufacturing Technology degree apprentice who works as a project engineer at the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), was announced as the overall winner of the AMRC Training Centre Apprentice of the Year Awards 2020.
The talented 25-year-old was also named ‘degree apprentice of the year’.
She was crowned the champion by Sir George at an online celebration held on Thursday, December 17.
Her work for the AMRC Gear Centre team focuses on developing novel gear cutting techniques for gear manufacturing.
As reported by amrc training, Cousins said: “It honestly means the absolute world to me and is the perfect positive ending to this year in particular. This has definitely been the highlight and best way I could have ever wanted to end my apprenticeship journey.”
As part of her prize for winning the overall Apprentice of the Year 2020 title, she will be rewarded with a visit to Stanley Black & Decker’s Global Tools & Storage headquarters in Towson, Maryland, USA - when safe to do so - and will have the opportunity of additional training that includes best practice in advanced, innovative subjects such as automation, robotics, additive design and manufacturing.
