Nadia’s Bright Future – Whitecroft Bright Futures Academy

NADIA’S BRIGHT FUTURE

 

Celebrating further successes in the Hawden Team; we wanted to highlight the achievement of one of our Trainee Engineers, Nadia Husen.

A year ago, we were invited to send a trainee to benefit from a joint venture between one of our Clients, Willmott Dixon, and one of our suppliers, Whitecroft Lighting.

The Bright Future’s Academy see’s some of the brightest young minds gathered together with industry thought leaders to network, share knowledge and bright ideas.

The programme starts with a visit to the factory, seminars and workshop and continues over time with interactive learning and the development of a project culminating in a Team presentation.

Not only did Nadia graduate from the Academy last week but also her Team Presentation was voted the Winner and she receive additional recognition because of it.

Thank you, to Willmott Dixon and Whitecroft Lighting, for offering such a beneficial opportunity and Congratulations to Nadia on your achievement.

Celebrating the Success of Mitchell Holland

Celebrating the Success of Mitchell Holland – BEng ACIBSE IEng

Following on from our recent update about our Apprenticeship and Junior Engineer Programme, we’re delighted to share an outstanding success story from within our team.

Mitchell has officially completed his apprenticeship, achieved his academic qualifications, and secured his professional accreditation — a milestone that reflects years of dedication, hard work, and continuous development.

Mitchell first joined us for work experience during his T‑Level studies. After completing them, he entered our Junior Engineer Programme while continuing his education at MidKent College. Having achieved his HNC in Building Services Engineering, he progressed to London South Bank University to undertake a formal Technical Apprenticeship.

In 2025, Mitchell completed his studies and moved straight into pursuing his professional qualifications, which he has now proudly achieved. Along the way, he was also shortlisted for CIBSE Apprentice of the Year, narrowly missing out on the top spot – an impressive recognition in itself.

Mitchell is also one of our in‑house SAP (OCDEA) Assessors, further demonstrating the breadth of his capability.

We are incredibly proud of Mitch. His achievements are a testament to his commitment, talent, and the well‑rounded skill set he has developed. Although he has chosen to specialise as an Electrical Engineer, he is without doubt one of the few genuinely holistic Building Services Engineers in the industry.

Congratulations, Mitch – a fantastic achievement and very well deserved.

MITCHELL GRADUATES!

 

Mitchell Graduates!

 

All at Hawden would like to extend a huge congratulations to our engineer Mitchell Holland who graduated from London South Bank University. Mitch achieved upper second class honours in the LSBU BEng (Hons) Building Services Engineering (TAC Design Apprenticeship) course.

Mitch is the first engineer to successfully complete the Hawden MEP junior engineer program. We have others following in Mitch’s footsteps and are always keen to discover new hardworking young people interested in joining the team and starting their journey to become a building services engineer.

Mitchell Begins His Building Services Design Engineering Apprenticeship

Having spent 18 months studying locally, we are pleased to announce that Mitchell Holland commences his formal Technical Apprenticeship studies, at London Southbank University, this week.

Due to his previous education, Mitch will be joining the program in year two and will now benefit from all that the apprenticeship has to offer, meaning a better qualified and more well-rounded journey into the MEP Services world.

From all at Hawden MEP, we wish him well in his studies and have no doubt that he will turn out to be the successful engineer we have seen the beginnings of thus far!!
