Max Wheeler, an apprentice with Chubb Fire & Security, won an Apprentice Installer Award from the British Security Industry Association (BSIA). Wheeler was one of three apprentices from the UK’s private security industry who were presented with national awards in recognition of their academic and practical success in electronic security installation. Awarded by the BSIA trade body, the Apprentice Installer Awards recognise the achievements of level two and level three apprentices who install alarms, closed circuit television, access control or a mix of these.
Max, 21, works out of the company’s Coventry office and was nominated by Chubb’s apprenticeship programme manager, Jim McSharry. He has already completed all of his level two field assessments and is on track to start his level three tests.
Max said: “I am incredibly proud to have won this BSIA award, particularly being recognised by my seniors at Chubb. To know that others appreciate my efforts here at Chubb is great, and I look forward to the next and final year of my apprenticeship.”
He and the two runners-up were all presented with their awards at the BSIA’s annual luncheon, hosted at the London Hilton on Park Lane in mid-July. He’s pictured with the event’s guest speaker, Chris Moon.
