DAN Rogerson, North Cornwall MP and Cornwall Councillor Adam Paynter (Launceston North and North Petherwin) visited Launceston College Construction Unit, on Pennygillam Industrial Estate, recently.

The unit has been delivering bricklaying qualifications for the past eight years and last year won the Guild of Bricklayers competition in Exeter.

The visitors took the opportunity to engage with the young people at the college by trying out some bricklaying for themselves.

The provision at the unit has been further extended recently by the inclusion of bricklaying apprenticeships at level 2 and level 3.
