VIC YOUNG BODY SHOP APPRENTICE HAS THE EDGE

Apprentice of the Year

Family-run dealership Vic Young is celebrating their apprentice David Ridley this week after the young paint sprayer won ‘Automotive Apprentice of the Year’.

David trains at Gateshead College and it was his tutor Jordan that presented him with the prestigious ‘Edge’ trophy. The young apprentice was speechless when he walked into the garage’s showroom to see his tutors, balloons and a personalised cake.

The senior staff at Vic Young gifted David with twenty free driving lessons after he expressed a strong interest in getting his licence.
