He was named Vertu Masters Club Apprentice Technician of the Year, after being nominated by the dealership's General Manager, Mark Littlejohn.

Since joining the team three years ago, Dougie has been praised by Mark for demonstrating a fantastic work ethic and commitment to his progression.


Mark Littlejohn, General Manager of Macklin Motors Edinburgh East Hyundai, said: "Dougie is a model apprentice and is well on his way to becoming a great Technician.

This year Vertu Motors plc, the motor retail group the Macklin Motors brand belongs to, has welcomed 26 new members into its Masters Club, which is a nationwide recognition programme that identifies and celebrates the achievements of high-performing colleagues across its 159 dealerships.
