Sussex-based builders merchant Chandlers got involved in the Skilled up Best in Kent Final as part of its support for Thanet College.
The final comprised of four disciplines; painting and decorating, bricklaying, plastering and carpentry with the winners from previous heats battling it out for the prestigious “Best in Kent” title.
Chandlers Building Supplies provided the Bricklaying prize winner with £100 worth of bricklaying tools.
The winners were: Matt Stringer, Mid Kent College, in Brickwork; Matthew Davis, Canterbury College, in Joinery; Matt Hope, K College, in Carpentry; Alex Prall, North West Kent College, in Painting and Decorating and Simon Jones, K College, in Plastering.
Richard Skinner, Chandlers Commercial Director, commented: “I felt the standard of Bricklaying was very good and the students seemed to embrace the competition well. I am grateful to Thanet College for giving us the opportunity to support the event and hope to be involved in similar projects in the future. I would also like to congratulate all of the finalists and wish them the best of luck in the future”.
