From Apprenticeship to a New Horizon: Celebrating Ashton Moffatt's Success

We are incredibly proud to announce that our apprentice, Ashton Moffatt, has been honoured with the Industry Placement Award for 2025 at Middlemount Community School🏆

Ashton's journey with us through his School-Based Apprenticeship with MRAEL & Anglo Capcoal Management has been truly exceptional. Specialising as a school-based auto-electrical apprentice, he has dedicated the past two years to developing invaluable, transferable skills that will undoubtedly propel him towards a remarkable future.

And what an exciting future it is! Ashton has secured a full-time position in the Army, working with armoured vehicles, commencing in 2026. While we are certainly sad to see him go – and Anglo will miss his contributions too – we couldn't be more thrilled for this talented young individual. His dedication and the expertise he's gained through MRAEL are a testament to his hard work and the impactful pathways we help create.

Ashton, you are an inspiration! We know you will be an invaluable asset to your new team. We wish you every success in this next chapter!
