Codi Wedge from Build A Brand in Walton Highway receives Trainee of the Year award

A marketing apprentice was recognised for his hard work as he was crowned trainee of the year in a prestige awards ceremony.

Codi Wedge works for Build A Brand in Walton Highway and scooped up the award at this year’s Fenland Citizen Business Awards.

Build A Brand offers strategic consulting, tailor-made services for clients of all shapes and sizes - from small start-ups, to large corporations - to help their businesses achieve long-lasting, measurable growth.

Codi has been training at the firm and expressed his delight at winning the award at the event, held at March Braza Club on Friday.

Codi said: “I am very grateful for this award, I never knew what I really wanted to do, my boss Gemma gave me the chance.

“I have learned so much during those years – now I am making a career out of it.

“I would like to think Gemma is proud of me and overall it is giving me a bit of recognition.”

The award was sponsored by Iliffe Media, with Sharron Marriott of Iliffe Media Group Awards & Events handing Codi his award.

He was up against other trainee Andrew Mackie from CAB Fenland.
