Top spot for Daniel earns place in Skillbuild final
A second-year apprentice at Andy Thornton Ltd, of Elland, has claimed the top joinery prize in the Yorkshire round of the national Skillbuild competition.
Daniel Collinson, 18, beat 80 entrants in the competition at Huddersfield Technical College.
He will now represent the Yorkshire region at the national Skillbuild final.
The joinery competition consisted of a test of practical skills, and the knowledge needed to carry them out.
All entrants were given a set drawing of a sash frame, and had six hours to redraw and make it.
Daniel attends Huddersfield Technical College one day a week on day release from Andy Thornton.
He completes his final year as an apprentice next year.
The national Skillbuild final takes place at Leeds College of Building on October 1 to 3.
The winner will have the opportunity to compete in the international final in Calgary in September 2009.
Daniel's mum was at Huddersfield Technical College to see him pick up the top prize.
