Liam’s commitment to his craft is evident in his impressive self-driven learning. He started at Haldane Construction as a general labourer, where he learned the art of bricklaying through observation. Recognising his talent, the company offered him an apprenticeship, which he embraced with enthusiasm, spending his evenings and weekends independently honing his skills. This dedication has allowed him to excel in his trade, a journey that started at the age of 30, proving that passion and hard work have no age limits. Beyond his technical abilities, Liam has shown extraordinary character and has become a cornerstone of the team. Having been with the company for over a decade, he has helped maintain its unity and uphold the founder’s legacy, particularly after their recent passing. This strong character and maturity led him to take on a mentorship role, guiding a second-year apprentice, a rare accomplishment for somebody still on their own apprenticeship journey. Liam also extended his leadership to his college classmates, using his experience to improve the class’s overall performance. His journey is an inspiring story of personal growth and a commitment to fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development.
