Bricklaying win for MidKent College

MidKent College students Henry Brown and Michael Adams were amongst the top winners at this year’s Guild of Bricklayers London Regional Craft Competition.

Held on Thursday 4 June, the competition sees thirteen students from across London and the South East showcasing their bricklaying skills at both junior and senior levels.

Henry Brown finished a well-deserved first in the senior competition and qualified for the National Guild of Bricklayer’s final, held at Leeds College of Building on 17 June. Henry successfully built a decorated half brick wall and radius brickwork, whilst the junior competitors built a solid decorated wall for their places. Michael Adams, another student at MidKent College, finished in a great second place in this junior event.

Terry Howard, Lecturer of Construction & Engineering said, “The competition was exciting all the way through to the end, it was a great day for all of the participating students, and we had a fantastic result!
