Plymouth builders merchant helping students ‘build’ for the future

The Plymouth branch of RGB Building Supplies recently sponsored the Skills Group Learner of the Month programme and rewarded young people who are starting out on their construction careers.

Property maintenance student Maisie Walton, bricklaying learner Callum Patrick, carpentry student Aiden Taylor, and plastering learner Cerys Matthews all won Study Programme Learner of the Month awards.

The students were recognised for their enthusiasm, attendance, timekeeping and attitude, and received a selection of tools donated by RGB Building Supplies.

Skills Group is one of the largest independent learning providers. At its state-of-the-art and realistic training centre in Plympton, students can learn a variety of construction skills, including carpentry and joinery, bricklaying, and groundworks.

Richard Perry from RGB Plymouth presented the students with their prizes. He commented:

“I was delighted to meet the students, present them with their prizes and find out more about their learning. It's great to see new blood coming into the industry, bringing fresh ideas and enthusiasm. Through their training, these young people can go on to have fulfilling careers and make a real difference to the sector. I wish all of them the best of luck for the future."
