Ethan Nicholls is next of TClarke’s talent pipeline of quality engineers
TClarke UK North’s production line of world class engineers was on display at the G4C North East Awards 2025 as Paul Hoy, Operations Director, TClarke Newcastle, says.
“If you look at the photo, you see, from left to right, Harry Carney, Trainee QS at TClarke and previous winner in 2023, Ethan Nicholls – 4th Year Electrical Apprentice and finalist this year, plus Eamonn Rourke, Systems Manager and Apprentice Co-ordinator and Ian Smeaton, Operations Manager – all from our Newcastle team.
“We are proud to have one of the industry’s best Apprenticeship Programmes. It is run by people like Eamonn and supported by people like Ian and Harry, up and down the country. Our Apprentices work hard and we celebrate their successes together. Ethan didn’t convert the win on this ocassion – but his success as a finalist says so much about his attitude, skills and the support from the team around him. We look forward to helping Ethan develop his career with TClarke for years to come.”
