"We are passionate to support the next generation of engineers and the Arkwright Scholarship offers a great opportunity to help talented students achieve their full potential.  We would like to congratulate Thomas on being awarded the Roy Cuthbert Scholarship and wish him all the very best in his future career" commented Martin Cuthbert, Webtec's Managing Director.

Now heading into its 30th year, the Scholarship provides young people in the UK with a fully sponsored programme of hands-on experience, professional mentorship and careers guidance throughout their A-levels and Scottish Higher qualifications.
