GLASGOW STUDENT CROWNED 2018 APPRENTICE DECORATOR OF THE YEAR

Aiden Dearie who is studying at City Building Glasgow’s Queenslie Training College has been chosen as the ‘gold’ winner of the 2018 Crown Paints Apprentice Decorator of the Year competition after a gruelling three-day challenge at the WorldSkills UK LIVE event at Birmingham’s NEC. The final pitted seven regional winners against each other as they undertook a timed challenge: completing a design which commemorated the 100 year anniversary of the signing of the Armistice Agreement, marking the end of the First World War. The artwork was devised by Crown’s in-house design studio for the competition.
