A promising young entrepreneur from Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Penrith has been awarded the Lamont Pridmore Prize for Economics & Business.
This year’s recipient, Sam Davidson, was chosen by his teachers, who were impressed by his dedication and strong performance in A-level Economics.
Although the school hosted its official awards presentation on 18 December, Trevor Iredale, IFA, from Lamont Pridmore, had the opportunity to meet Sam earlier in the week to present him with his engraved glass award and Waterstones vouchers.
Trevor said: “On behalf of everyone at Lamont Pridmore, I’d like to congratulate Sam on his fantastic achievement. He has shown remarkable focus and initiative, setting a high standard for his peers in business studies.”
Sam currently works full-time at his local Sainsbury’s and will soon begin a degree apprenticeship as an Operations Analyst at Barclays’ Glasgow campus. He will also be studying for a business management degree at the University of Strathclyde.
“At Lamont Pridmore, we take pride in doing what we can to support and encourage the next generation of entrepreneurs,” added Trevor.
“It’s always a pleasure to recognise hard-working students like Sam, and we hope this award motivates him to keep challenging himself and pursuing his ambitions.”
As a leading accountancy firm in Cumbria, Lamont Pridmore is dedicated to supporting young people interested in business, helping them develop the skills they need to succeed in the sector.
