At the national WorldSkills UK competition – the country’s largest experiential skills, apprenticeships, and careers event – Leeds College of Building apprentice Joseph Turner (25) won gold in the ‘Roofing: Slating and Tiling’ Final. This is the third consecutive year that a student from the Roofing Department at Leeds College of Building has won gold at the national competition. Fellow apprentices – Jay Webster and Callum Pearson – were also awarded Highly Commended in the ‘Roofing: Slating and Tiling’ and ‘Wall and Floor Tiling’ finals. Joseph is now an apprentice at The Roofing Corporation Ltd. Joseph said: “I do a lot of handmade tiling with clay tiles – both plain and pan tiles – so working with machinemade clay tiles was a lot easier for me, and we also do a lot of ornamental slating, so I knew what I needed to do to win. I just had to make sure I worked to the points scheme given to me and to a good pace to complete it on time!” Chris Messenger, Leeds College of Building Lecturer, said: “I am elated that our roofing apprentices have achieved three successive gold medals here. I am so proud of Joe – he has worked incredibly hard and deserves his gold.
