Honours For Talented Youngsters

31 March 2010

Three of the Costain Group's most promising youngsters were honoured for their achievements recently.  The talented trio - Sarah Richardson, Adam Cooper and Robert Costello - received Sir Albert Costain Memorial Awards for being Trainees of the Year.

The presentations were made by Andrew Wyllie, Costain Chief Executive, at the 21 Club Dinner and AGM. The 21 Club comprises individuals who have worked 21 years or more for the Costain Group.

Sarah Richardson is an assistant estimator in the Cardiff office and joined the Company as an enquiries clerk.  She is described as 'highly motivated' and in her spare time she runs for charity and will be in the London Marathon this year. Adam Cooper, a graduate section manager at the Belvedere waste project, has impressed colleagues with his positive attitude and willingness to learn and help. Robert Costello, a trainee quantity surveyor at the Greater Manchester Waste project, has driven his own development and, as a result, has recorded many achievements.

The 21 Club Dinner and AGM was held at the Oval in London, one of the world's great cricket grounds. One 21 Club member Grahame Barwell, present at the Dinner, had played cricket at the legendary venue as a youngster for the Kent Association of Cricket Clubs.
