Amazingly complex model with amazingly simple instructions, for a fool like me who has never made a model it was slightly challenging.
I gave it a good go but the ropes were so fiddly this is now a two part video so I present you, part one!

Three Years Of Progress – Strategic Transport Apprenticeship Task Force
Recently I attended the Strategic Transport Apprenticeship Taskforce Annual report – Three years of progress event.
This was my third year on the board, I joined the board as a Crossrail apprentice when I worked at Tottenham Court Road and I have been a board member since. Our main objective is to get more apprentices into transport.

The event was hosted by the brilliant Mike Brown who sits also as the chair of STAT.
I was fortunate enough to chair a panel of 4 brilliant apprentices

Who spoke about their experience of apprenticeships and what changes we can make for all, it was very thought provoking for all in the room.
We were followed by the brilliant Sir Kenneth Olisa OBE who as well as many other things is the Lord – Lieutenant if Greater London, he shared some brilliant thoughts on apprenticeships and social justice.
A great event to celebrate the panels third year of progress towards more apprenticeships in transport.
Filming lifting technician apprentices at Battersea, London.
So on Friday we filmed some of our Select Plant Hire Lifting Technician Apprentices on a very windy platform at the Northern Line Extension.
It’s was great to hear of some of our past apprentices experiences of the scheme and a great insight into them personally.
I was one of the first lifting technicians to join via the apprenticeship in October 2014 and it completely changed my life, from recruitment consultant to crane operator.
Since then we have put over 100 apprentices through this amazing apprenticeship, our lifting techs have worked on some of the largest infrastructure projects in the UK!
Impressive! I’m hoping this video will be a great tool to tell others about our apprenticeship.
