The NZUK Link Foundation is thrilled to announce that our 2024 Bruce McLaren Automotive Award recipients, Alex McGivern and Isaac Morris, have officially arrived in the UK and completed their first week at McLaren, in Woking!
Their arrival comes at a time of celebration and achievement for McLaren, with the team recently clinching the Formula 1 Constructors' Championship for the first time since 1998, following Lando Norris’s victory at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. McLaren’s ongoing success on the world stage highlights its legacy of precision, innovation, and engineering excellence—values that Alex and Isaac will experience first-hand as they immerse themselves in this world-class environment.
The Bruce McLaren Automotive Awards, co-funded by the NZUK Link Foundation and the Bruce McLaren Trust, celebrate the legacy of Kiwi motorsport icon Bruce McLaren. These scholarships provide New Zealand’s brightest engineering students with an unparalleled opportunity to work alongside industry leaders at McLaren’s global headquarters in Woking, UK.
We are incredibly proud to see Alex and Isaac embark on this exciting chapter, where they will contribute to projects at the forefront of automotive innovation. Their journey reflects the power of collaboration between New Zealand and the UK—a shared commitment to fostering the next generation of talent in engineering and STEM.
Stay tuned for more updates as Alex and Isaac represent Kiwi ingenuity on the global stage!
