Following his graduation in the summer, Sam joined Croda as a Graduate Process Engineer.
During his studies, Sam completed an industrial placement year at GSK as a Downstream Process Engineer. During this time he achieved EngTech registration with IChemE.
Achieving a first-class degree, Sam gained the highest mark in his year group both for his individual design project and his final year research project.
During his time as a student, he was a keen musician, playing piano, trumpet and viola, and also a rugby player, captaining the Loughborough University 2nd team. As well as this, he was part of an outreach programme that involved tutoring maths to GCSE students. He is continuing these pursuits post-graduation.
I feel extremely privileged to receive this prestigious award from the Salters’ Institute recognising my hard work throughout my degree and placements.
I would like to thank my family and friends for their support and encouragement through the highs and lows as well as the Department of Chemical Engineering at Loughborough who have helped develop me and equip me with the tools to pursue my future goals.
I have thoroughly enjoyed starting my career at Croda putting into practice all I learned at Loughborough University to make a positive impact supporting Croda’s vision of a sustainable future.
