SkillBuild 2024 proved to be a tremendous success, highlighting remarkable talent and creative energy.
The FIS team was in attendance, advocating for the interior sector with FIS Head of Skills and Training, Beena Nana, who was graciously hosted by Locker & Riley at their booth. On the second day, Greg Greves joined Beena, interacting with our members and identifying emerging stars in our industry.
After the event, Beena shared her thoughts:
“It was an honor to be part of the Construction Showcase at the SkillBuild Finals. Witnessing such talented individuals showcase their abilities was genuinely inspiring, and it was uplifting to see the industry come together to celebrate pride in their craft while connecting with fellow apprentices and trainees. The event truly celebrated construction, and I believe the many young people, educators, and careers advisors who attended caught a glimpse of a future they might one day embrace. We are dedicated to supporting SkillBuild and eagerly anticipate collaborating with CITB and colleagues from various trades to enhance its impact.”
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the winners from the event (notably FIS Members Michael amd Owen from Errigal who placed 1st and 2nd in the Dryliing Competition and Dawson from Tyne Metropolitan College who came third and Niall from Newcastle College and Wesley from Leeds College of Building who placed in the Plastering). All involved should be commended for using their efforts.
