Apprentice Usmaan Nasir has won a top award for his work at ventilation firm Nuaire.
Usmaan, who works full-time at the firm’s Welsh HQ in Caerphilly, won the Welsh Chartered Quality Institute’s top award for putting a programme into action to boost quality and efficiency in time for the company’s 50th anniversary this year.
He said “Implementing effective improvement initiatives can be far more difficult and expensive than textbooks and training courses generally indicate.
“While numbers can be put on the cost of rework and other failure incidents, it is not so easy to put a price on a company’s reputation for technical excellence and reliability of supply in a globally competitive sector.”
Steve Flood, QSHE Manager at Nuaire said: “The knowledge and experience Usmaan has gained has positively influenced the Quality culture within Nuaire through the implementation of various quality tools and techniques learnt through his studies with the professional academy at the University of Glamorgan.”
