On Lewis' brilliant achievement, Compliance Director, James Gawman said "Lewis has shown incredible determination and resilience throughout. Balancing work, study, and life is never easy, and yet he’s got through with focus and commitment. It’s a powerful reminder, particularly to those perhaps just starting out, of what can be achieved with hard work and belief in yourself".
