Meet the graduates: Oliver Reddaway

Oliver Reddaway, 22, from Totnes, Devon has been awarded the JCB Trophy when he graduated from Harper Adams University in late September.

The JCB Trophy is presented to the BEng (Hons) Off Road Vehicle Design student which Ollie graduates from the course with first class honours.
