Cocks's potential was recognised early; he won DAF apprentice of the year twice, and was singled out as an employee of high potential (which prompted an IMI Level 4 management course on top of his Level 3 qualification through City of Bristol College). Recalling his experiences at the South West dealer at that time, Cocks says: "I was fortunate to have great mentors. In fact just yesterday I gave one of them, Dean Mansell, a long service award. He was instrumental in bringing me on." Other site staff also won awards. "It was almost a joke in DAF that Newton Abbot was breeding success. But really it was a fantastic manager, Nick Stewart, who was great with apprentices." |
