commented:- "We see 1st hand the great work that young people are doing in
the construction industry across the UK and, following a successful competition
last year, we want to recognise even more of the talent that's out there. The
next generation of tradespeople will be responsible for building the Britain of
the future and we want to ensure they have the support they need as they start
their careers. Celebrating the best of their work will not only encourage them
