One of C-TEC’s young apprentices, Richard Finch, has been awarded a prize.
Due to his involvement in the development of C-TEC’s new touchscreen controlled ZFP range of analogue fire panels, Richard, an 18-year-old, has invented a 12V power supply with an LCD screen that displays voltage as part of his HNC Electronic Engineering course. Richard’s tutors at Wigan and Leigh College were so impressed they nominated him for the MBDA Award for Innovation.
Richard says: “I was surprised but very happy to receive an award. Studying while working is difficult sometimes but this award makes all my hard work seem worthwhile.”
Stephen Collier, C-TEC’s Manufacturing Director, says: “We are delighted with Richard’s overall progress. Such initiative and flair is rare in one so young and Richard astounds us on a daily basis with his skills and enthusiasm for electronics. The award is very well deserved.”
The Wigan-based manufacturer of life-safety equipment offers fire alarm control panels, voice alarms, call systems, power supplies and disabled refuge systems. Website: http://www.c-tec.co.uk/
