SUNRAYSIA man Kade Loxton has been named the winner of the 2022 Bendigo Apprentice of the Year Future Builder Award.
Nominated by SuniTAFE and employed by JD Construction Mildura, the 21-year-old said being nominated for the award felt like a "pat on the back" but winning was a shock.
"By looking at the work by some of the other blokes who were nominated, I was very impressed, I thought there was a fair few there with a good chance," he said.
