At just 13 years old, Finlay has already made history as the UK's youngest qualified CPCS Backhoe Loader operator. His remarkable achievement, combined with his genuine enthusiasm for construction and dedication to encouraging others into the industry, made him the ideal choice for this pioneering ambassadorial role.

Through the partnership, Finlay will work alongside CPCS to showcase the breadth of opportunities available within construction, sharing behind-the-scenes experiences, highlighting training pathways, and providing an authentic insight into the skills and careers that help shape the built environment.

The collaboration reflects NOCN Group's ongoing commitment to supporting vocational learning and promoting skilled careers across the construction sector. By sharing Finlay's journey, the organisation hopes to inspire more young people to explore rewarding careers in construction and demonstrate the value of recognised training and competence.

Commenting on the appointment, Steve Thompson, Group Director, Commercial at NOCN Group said:

“Finlay's passion, enthusiasm and commitment to the construction industry are truly inspiring. As our first CPCS Brand Ambassador, he represents the ambition and potential of the next generation of skilled professionals. We look forward to working with him to showcase the exciting opportunities our industry has to offer and encourage more people to pursue careers in construction. ”

As the partnership develops, audiences can expect exclusive content featuring site visits, industry events, training opportunities and insights into the construction sector, reinforcing NOCN Group's mission to develop skills, recognise competence and support workforce excellence.
