A builder from Cheltenham has been awarded honorary membership of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) in recognition of the commitment he has shown to the FMB and the construction industry.

Trevor Hole of L & H Surveying Services entered the construction industry over 55 years ago. During his teenage years he earned pocket money by working for a small builder in his school holidays and at weekends. He eventually joined a Cardiff based contractor as a trainee estimator/surveyor, during which time he qualified as an Associate Member of the Institution of Chartered Surveyors (ARICS) in 1970.
