Stuart Millar awarded Bronze in London competition - 17/10/2011
Congratulations are due to Stuart Millar of South Eastern Regional College and A & N Shilliday & Co Ltd, and his training team, for placing with a bronze medal in the World Skills 2011 held in London last week. During a gruelling 5 day public event, Stuart competed against 19 young engineers from across the globe. Whats more the event was held in front of an audience of thousands of school children and teachers who took over the ExCel centre to view skills from the construction, building services, engineers, transport, it, fashion and catering industries.
Next to the refrigeration competition stand HRP provided a range of "have a go" activities to encourage young people to try their hand at related skills such as pipebending and leak finding (using nitrogen of course!). A real ice rink was there for those who completed their tasks to show the kids that refrigeration technololgy can be fun as well.
VIP visitors to the World Skills London event included David Cameron, Boris Johnson, ministers and members of the Royal Family.
Our thanks to all of the judges, sponsors, employers, organisers and trainers for giving UK refrigeration skills such a high profile on the world stage.
