Following on from his recent success in winning the New Zealand Hitachi Top Technician Award held in March, Scott Donnelly of CablePrice Christchurch’s equipment workshop has just won the top prize at the Oceania round of Hitachi Top Technician held in Singapore.
CablePrice national training manager Ross Wallace says that considering Donnelly was up against very tough competition from Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore, he did exceptionally well.
“Scott managed to keep himself cool, calm and collected when faced with a theory test which consisted of 50 questions to be answered within one hour. A practical test of two faults to find within one hour and finally having to give a written and verbal report about one of the two faults he found,” says Wallace.
Donnelly now goes on to the Hitachi Top Technician World Finals to be held in Japan very shortly where he will represent both this region and CablePrice.
He is the second person from the CablePrice Christchurch workshop to make it to the Hitachi Top Technician World Finals. This will also be the third out of five times that CablePrice has had one of their technicians going through to the world finals.
