Established in 1999, the Young Builder Of The Year Awards (hosted by Youthbuild UK) celebrate the achievements of young people, who despite having to overcome a range of barriers have succeeded in training for and or gaining employment in the construction industry. In September this year, the Rt. Hon John Hayes (former Minister of State For Further Education, Skills & Life Longlearning) joined Youthbuild UK as its President. He is widely acknowledged for his enthusiasm for young people pursing alternative forms of training and education; stating “too often people are only recognised for their academic achievements’.”

On behalf of Classic Builders; I would like to wish our sincere congratulations to James and his family.”
