Luke Palfreyman (18), a second-year bricklaying apprentice, was recognised for his commitment and approach to learning at the annual ABN Training Apprentice Awards.

ABN Group managing director Dale Alcock said their training program developed competent tradespeople with strong leadership and safety skills.
