A CAMELFORD man has been nationally recognised for his contribution in the construction industry.

Last week, Adam Piper, 20, from Camelford, was named a runner-up in the Scaffolding Year 2 category at this year's National Construction College (NCC) Awards, which took place at the NCC in Norfolk.

Adam's mum, Ruth said she was "chuffed to bits" with the result.

"He's done really well at his age," she beamed.

Adam has been an apprentice with Launceston-based company W R Construction for two years.
