Wallace Whittle Degree Apprentice Selected for Scotland Men’s Hockey Squad at FIH Hockey Nations Cup.
We are proud to congratulate Degree Apprentice Engineer, Jedd Campbell, on his selection for the Scotland Men’s National Hockey Squad ahead of this summer’s FIH Nations Cup tournament in South Africa, 11th to 20th June 2026.
Balancing the demands of international sport alongside a professional engineering career is no small achievement, and Jedd’s selection reflects the commitment, discipline, and work ethic he brings both on and off the pitch.
As part of Wallace Whittle’s ongoing commitment to developing talented young professionals, the business has supported Jedd throughout his progression as both an engineer and international athlete. Through a flexible and supportive working environment, we have helped him continue pursuing elite-level sport while developing his engineering career within the business.
His degree apprenticeship has allowed him to balance his international career with a full-time job that also provides him with a degree in engineering via a day-release University programme that aligns well with his summer international programme.
Jedd shared:
“The business has been incredibly supportive throughout my international hockey commitments with Scotland. They have generously sponsored me to assist with the costs associated with attending tournaments, which has significantly eased the financial pressure of competing at an international level. Their support has played a huge role in enabling me to continue representing Scotland while maintaining my role at work.”
Paul Cooper, Director, Glasgow said:
“It’s fantastic to see Jedd recognised at international level with his selection for Scotland. His commitment and attitude set a great example across our team, and we’re proud to support him as he represents at the highest level. Everyone at Wallace Whittle will be cheering him on.”
Wallace Whittle recognises the value that high-performing individuals bring to the workplace, particularly those who demonstrate the resilience, teamwork and dedication required to compete at elite sporting levels.
We’ll be cheering him on and wish him all the luck in competing!
We would be pleased to hear from other aspiring international athletes interested in combining high-level sport with a rewarding engineering career through opportunities like Jedd’s. Existing students are also welcome to apply; with the view they can convert to a day release degree apprenticeship.
