GRAHAM Celebrates Achievements of Three Team Members

Construction firm GRAHAM has congratulated Karl Lomas, Sean Withe, and TaraMia Devine for recently achieving the prestigious ICE Professional Qualification Awards.

This significant accomplishment highlights their commitment to civil engineering and their continuous professional development. The recognition is a testament to the hard work and expertise they bring to the business, showcasing the exceptional talent within the GRAHAM team.

The ICE Professional Qualification is a key milestone in the careers of civil engineers, and GRAHAM's recognition of these achievements underscores the company's focus on fostering professional growth and excellence within its workforce.

Karl Lomas said: "I've been with GRAHAM for over ten years and would absolutely recommend an apprenticeship. I started off as a technical apprentice and progressed to Project Manager working on rail, highways and bridge projects. An apprenticeship might not be a traditional route, but it equips you with the technical knowledge, while learning on the job."
