First Female Wins Bricklaying Competition
08 June 2011
Congratulations to Kerri Chambers 22, a 3rd year
bricklaying apprentice at Lewisham College, who we believe, is the
first female to win the regional Senior SkillBuild
competition.
The London finals of the competition were held at Barking and
Dagenham College on the 26th May 2011.
Kerri will now represent London in the National final at Leeds
College of Building on the 14 - 16th September 2011,
with those finalists having the chance to compete in the global
awards later in the year at the 02 Arena in London.
Kerri, who works for Galostar, also won the
Olympic Award 'Apprentice of the Year' in July 2010.
John White, Senior Practitioner, construction department at
Lewisham College said:
"I believe Kerri is the first female ever to win this
competition. It demonstrates the high standard of teaching and the
commitment and dedication of our students to reach the highest
standards. This is outstanding news and a proud day for the
department."
Another Lewisham College Painting and Decorating Apprentice -
Dominic Whyte who works for Mulalley, was also
successful, coming fourth in the competition.
