Leanne Marriner, a recently graduated Driver Apprentice at Rugby Cement Plant, has recently won a competition with our training provider, SP Training, to name their brand-new eco training vehicle which recently went into service.

Leanne, who excelled in being the first in the group to take and pass her HGV test, also named the truck Eden.

She explained: “When it came to naming the new eco truck I instantly thought of the name “Eden” because of the link with the Eden Project. I also found out that the River Eden passes through Carlisle, giving it a local connection, which made it the perfect name for their new recruit. I can’t thank SP Training and Cemex enough for the joint support they have provided throughout the last year on my apprenticeship and equipping me for the role of a LGV Class 1 Tanker Driver. Spending the day at SP Training with my driver mentor, Richard Jenkins, and getting a tour of the new truck was a great way to end the year on a high.

Well done and congratulations Leanne.
