Plumb good careers

Oct 23 2008 by Richard Evans, North Wales Weekly News

A PLUMBING trade show took place at Coleg Llandrillo in Rhos-on-Sea giving students, plumbers, businesses and tradesman an insight into the latest products available.

National companies were on-hand to provide a range of demonstrations and tutor Mike Millership said students had learned much from the show.

“We were overjoyed at the response from local tradespeople and installers, especially as it was the first show of its kind,” he said.

“The nationwide shortage of plumbers and the potential of high earnings is attracting more British men and women into the trade.”
