“Brilliant”, “a lovely guy to work with” … this is the high praise received by Aaron Livingstone who has been named the Rotary Club of Kingaroy’s latest Pride of Workmanship award winner.
Aaron, 24, completed his apprenticeship as a mechanic just two weeks ago, which meant he was still eligible to take out Rotary’s May award, which was for “Apprentices”.
The former Kingaroy High School student didn’t always want to be a mechanic.
After leaving school, he worked for a while as a draughtsman before deciding an office job was not for him.
He began his apprenticeship at Huston Ford in Kingaroy three and a half years ago.
Huston’s service manager Ivan Walker was full of praise for Aaron, as is dealer principal Mark Huston, who nominated Aaron for the award.
Aaron told southburnett.com.au he was really enjoying working for Huston Ford where he had now progressed to the level of “senior technician” doing diagnostics and repairs.
He will be presented with his award at the Kingaroy Rotary Club meeting on Monday night.
Each month, the club invites the public to nominate an outstanding individual from within the Kingaroy region in a particular work category.
The June category is “Financial Services”.
Club president Damien Tessmann said this was an opportunity for employers and customers to recognise workers worthy of an award.
Nominations should be emailed to Val Hooper by the end of the month.
