Commenting on his win, Dominic, who was put forward for the competition by Barnsley College where he receives his training, said: "I was pleased to be put forward for this competition and proud of my achievements so far."

Having completed his NVQ Level 3 in plastering with Kier in 2011, Dominic, 20, was keen to further develop his skills with the company and is now carrying out NVQ Levels 2 and 3 in floor and wall tiling. His winning entry in the Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Skillbuild competition consisted of a 3D design using six colours, which was marked on design, layout and angle accuracy.
