In what has been a record-breaking year for Team Wales at the WorldSkills UK National Finals, with 148 competitors making up over 30% of the overall attendance for the competition, the results are in, and a huge congratulations is in order.
Teams from Wales, Scotland, England, and Northern Ireland took part in competitions across 63 disciplines held in colleges around the UK between 9th and 19th November. The battle was on to secure the title of ‘Skill Champion’ in a wide range of competitions, including Welding, Cyber Security and Restaurant Service.
Last month, we announced the record-breaking number of Team Wales competitors taking part in this year’s skills competitions, and we’re proud to announce an equally brilliant number of winners. With 70 medallists in 33 categories, we want to congratulate not only every winner but all competitors!
Winners were crowned in a special ceremony hosted by Channel 4’s Steph’s Packed Lunch presenter, Steph McGovern, from the Packed Lunch studio on Friday 26th November.
