Gemma Prosser proved her metal in the recent skillscompetition Wales final held at Coleg Sir Gar. The 20 year-old who’s studying at the Ammanford campus fought off competition from fourteen other candidates to win first place in the foundation plumbing skills competition!
Gemma decided to seek a career in plumbing after helping her partner who is already a qualified plumber. Thrilled with her win, she’s looking forward to developing her skills and entering higher level competitions like SkillPLUMB in the coming years.
Second place in this year’s plumbing competition went to Jonathan Hopkins from Neath Port Talbot College; whilst Jonathan Madley from Ystrad Mynach College took third position.
In the electrical competition, Coleg Sir Gâr students scooped all top three positions with Ryan Newman, first, Reece Sales, second, and Andrew Kirkbridge, third.
It was a great skillscompetition Wales final – check out our photo gallery on flickr. You might spot previous WorldSkills Squad UK member, Gareth Evans, who spoke to the competitors (as they nervously awaited their results) about his experience and how far a skills competition journey can take you.
Congratulations to all competitors and everyone involved in this competition!
