Fayanne Smith, one of our Rugby Driver Apprentices, was the first in this year’s group to pass her HGV – C+E license, enabling her to drive our 44-tonne bulk cement tanker articulated vehicles.

She has been mentored by one of our Drivers, Tracey Booker, and other members of the team. Gary Burgess and Darrell Collins have been managing and monitoring her progress commented: “Fayanne is a can-do person who is keen to learn all aspects of the job, takes health and safety as key for the role and has jelled well with all the team.”

Fayanne said after passing her test: “I’d like to say taking my test felt natural and I was confident due to the experience I gained during training with my mentors at CEMEX. I was relaxed and felt confident with my great instructor at Wallace School of Transport. I’m very proud to have passed first time! “

Well done to Fayanne and the other Apprentices who will be following in her footsteps.
