Local joinery apprentices ace Christmas exams
A family business near Shrewsbury is starting the new year by celebrating the achievements of two apprentices.
A R Manley & Son Ltd in Rodington specialises in bespoke joinery manufacturing and last month saw two of its apprentices achieving distinction grades as part of their assessments.
Laura Manley, Business Manager says: "We have some brilliant news to start the year! Just before Christmas, Robert Shaw and Matthew Edwards sat their practical end point assessments - Robert Level 2, Matthew Level 3, in Carpentry and Joinery.
"We now know they both achieved a distinction grade. A brilliant achievement, and certainly well-deserved.
"They are two of four apprentices Shrewsbury College Group put through exams at the time, and all four achieved Distinction grades.
"Traditional Joinery is a skill that is still very much needed, especially in a historical county like Shropshire, and Robert and Matthew are part of the next generation of skilled woodworkers restoring, renovating, and maintaining the beautiful old woodwork we see around us."
