“Tey are a credit to their employers, their colleges and Scotland, and we wish them well for the future” Anne Galbraith, SECTT
SECTT is delighted for both Lewis and Darren, who thoroughly deserved these accolades. “All three of the competitors can be
extremely proud of their performances – to reach the finals is in itself a fantastic achievement.
“They are a credit to their employers, their colleges and Scotland, and we wish them well for the future.” This year’s success follows double delight in the 2018 competition, which saw SECTT apprentices Rhys Boni and
Paul Anderson clinch gold and silver medals respectively. Anne added: “Scottish apprentices
have now won four of the six medals on offer at WorldSkills UK LIVE in the last two years, which is a fantastic advertisement for electrical training north of the border.” This year’s WorldSkills UK LIVE
saw more than 500 talented apprentices and students compete in more than 70 different disciplines, ranging from bricklaying to floristry.
The winners in each category secured the opportunity to represent the UK at the WorldSkills Finals – known as the ‘skills Olympics’ – in Shanghai in 2021. The event also attracted more than
80,000 visitors and featured over 200 different employers and training organisations, plus in-depth talks from industry leaders. Ben Blackledge, Deputy CEO of
WorldSkills UK, said: “This is a life- changing moment for these young people – they are the new generation of high flyers that will give UK employers a competitive edge. “Taking part in WorldSkills UK
competitions equips young people with the world-class skills that are needed to help UK businesses better compete globally “We couldn’t be prouder of each
and every one of them – and the standard of competition could not have been higher.”
