The awards were held at London’s Plaisterers’ Hall on 25th November 2019 to recognise the highest standards in training and education within the UK drylining and plastering trade.

The college was presented the runner-up prize of a cheque for £250 by Alderman William Russell, The Rt Hon Lord Mayor of London.
