Some 50 bus and coach technicians and apprentices from 10 UK operators, all of whom had competed in Bristol for the sixth IRTE Skills Challenge, attended the awards ceremony on 14 July. The annual awards - which seek to recognise excellence in electrical, mechanical and bodywork service and repair - were this year held at the JLR Experience, Castle Vale near Birmingham, with Ian Chisholm, managing director of SOE (Society of Operations Engineers, the umbrella organisation for the IRTE), SOE president Shaun Stephenson and IRTE professional sector council chair John Eastman presiding.
