Daniel Snelling wins apprentice of the Year!

Real SFX are extremely proud to announce that, Daniel Snelling, a former Special Effects Apprentice of ours, has won the award for Creative Industries Apprentice of the year at this year’s 2020 QSA awards.

Daniel worked as an apprentice at Real SFX for a year before completing his apprenticeship in Summer 2019. Whilst working as an apprentice with us, Dan worked on productions such as Peaky Blinders, Coronation Street and many more. Since completing his apprenticeship, Dan has continued to work for Real SFX as a Special Effects Trainee Technician and continues to work on very exciting projects!

Dan is a great asset to Real SFX and is proving to be a fantastic role model for our current apprentices. His can-do attitude is greatly received by his peers and colleagues, and his thirst for knowledge and furthering his career in special effects by applying himself to training days and courses is admirable. Your journey is an inspiration to others Dan, and we wish you all the luck in the world in your SFX career here at Real SFX.
