Ben Mills, a mature plumbing apprentice studying at Warwickshire College, was one of the three winners chosen by our expert judging panel.

His college mentor, Amanda Boycote, shared: "Ben has faced challenges along the way as a mature student, however he has always made time to support his peers, being the person which everyone looks to for guidance. Ben has shown a depth of willingness and determination to succeed and a huge amount of resilience along the way to overcome the hurdles he found himself facing."

"Winning the prize is really going to help me with my work as I'll have better quality tools which I can become comfortable with, and hopefully improve my competency."
