Henry....passing with Distinction!
1st March 2024
In February, our longest serving apprentice, Henry Jones, was presented with a certificate of achievement for successfully completing a two year course at Derby College in 'Carpentry & Joinery' (Architectural Joinery) for which he received a distinction!
Henry joined the Ovation Team in 2021 aged 16years after turning up at the workshop asking for a job & holding a CV that had everyone stunned!
Henry was passionate about engines and had been buying up, stripping down and rebuilding engines since the age of 7years. In addition, he was a skilled yachtsman and was refurbishing his own 21ft Caprice sailing boat............... but he wanted to learn about narrowboats!
Although Henry is a much valued member of the team he'll soon be sailing off with the Outside Your Zone crew to Australia in two sailing yachts of 32 & 38ft.
We'll keep you updated with their progress!
