Paragon ID, who is the leading provider of train tickets, has announced that Haydn Ward, Research and Development Project Manager for Paragon ID, has made just one of eight national finalists in the Young Manufacturer of the Year category of the Manufacturer’s MX Awards 2018.

He has been recognised as an individual who has demonstrated a strong understanding of his manufacturing environment.

Haydn joined Paragon ID in 2016 as part of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with Hull University.

Two years on, he is now the Research and Development Project Manager for the company, becoming an integral part of the division that has manufactured over 3 million tickets that are used worldwide.

Good luck to Haydn at the awards!

What did the officials say?

Haydn Ward comments:

“It’s a real honour to be nominated for the Young Manufacturer of the Year award and I certainly haven’t taken being shortlisted for granted. Knowing that my work has been commended by my colleagues and that they have gone to the effort to submit an entry on my behalf really does give me a renewed sense of confidence as I continue to move forward and take on new challenges during my career.”

“The whole business has been instrumental in allowing me to develop and put my ideas into practice. It really is a joint effort and something that the whole team should be taking credit for. The competition is really tough, but I hope to be in with a chance of winning and to bringing back a further award for our cabinet.”

Andrew Jones, General Manager for Paragon ID UK, comments:

“Haydn has made a great contribution to Paragon ID since he arrived and one that is well beyond his years. Recognising potential and investing in people is one of our main objectives and Haydn is a perfect example of the rewards and recognition that you can gain from taking this approach.”
