Ellis Davies recently attended the IMechE Merseyside & North Wales Region Annual Dinner, held at the Crowne Plaza in Chester, after being shortlisted for the Most Improved Apprentice Award 2026.
Being selected as one of just five apprentices nominated for the regional award is a fantastic achievement and a real reflection of the hard work, commitment and progress Ellis has made throughout his apprenticeship with Pilkington.
Ellis has continued to go from strength to strength since the very beginning of his apprenticeship. Having been named Apprentice of the Year in his first year, he has continued to impress year after year, consistently developing his skills, building his experience and making the most of every opportunity along the way.
Although Ellis didn’t take home the award on the evening, reaching the regional shortlist is another fantastic milestone and something he should be incredibly proud of.
Now working towards his HND, Ellis continues to build on everything he has achieved so far as he takes the next steps in his apprenticeship journey.
Everyone at Waterside would like to congratulate Ellis on his nomination and recognise the dedication and effort he has shown throughout his time with us.
Well done, Ellis! It’s been fantastic to see how far you’ve come, and we look forward to seeing what you achieve next.
