Congratulations to painting & decorating apprentice, Connor Lampton who has just been part of Team UK at the EuroSkills in Lille, France. Connor, who is employed by Horrocks, competed against 24 other European countries taking part in the competition. The 41 skill competitions at EuroSkills were divided into five categories — transportation and logistics, construction and building technology, manufacturing and engineering technology, creative arts and fashion, information and communication technology and social and personal services. Although Connor did not receive a medal ranking, he is still in the running for a place in the WorldSkills and will take part in the selection for Team UK in May next year.
