An apprentice at a Keighley-based car and motorcycle dealership has completed a demanding advanced training course.

Lee Harrison, of Keighley, who has been working at Colin Appleyard, successfully finished the Suzuki Advanced Apprentice-ship Programme.

Along with Matthew Lainton, of Ashton-under-Lyne, Lee attended a graduation ceremony, which was staged at Suzuki’s UK headquarters in Milton Keynes.

The pair have both become fully qualified Suzuki car technicians after negotiating the three-year course.

They have each received a plaque and certificate to recognise their achievement.

Managing director, Robin Apple-yard, said: “Congratulations to both lads – they have worked extremely hard and deserve their success.

“At Colin Appleyard, we believe in offering all our staff a structured career path, and apprenticeships play an important role in that structure. Professional after-sales service is a crucial part of our customer care programme.”
