Nathan Wong said: “I am really enjoying my apprenticeship and learning as much as I can every day. The support from the team has been incredible and has helped me grow in confidence both professionally and personally.
“Winning this award is a huge honour, especially so early in my career, and I am excited to see what the future holds.”
Robert Forrester, Chief Executive of Vertu, said: “Nathan represents emerging talent within our business, and has already made an outstanding contribution in his role since joining the Group.
