Lukasz was nominated for a City & Guilds Medal for Excellence by his FÁS Instructor Gearoid Ryan for his dedication and leadership qualities displayed during the qualification and also for achieving exceptionally high standards of work despite not being from an Engineering background and learning through a foreign language.

Since completing his City & Guilds qualification Lukasz has been employed with Takumi Precision Engineering, a local CNC engineering company where he is putting his new found skills to good use manufacturing precision components for the medical device industry.
