Berneslai Homes final year apprentice bricklayer Lee Duty has won the Senior Trophy for Yorkshire in the Guild of Bricklayers Senior Competition.
Lee competed against seven bricklayers in the region and won the trophy having built a test piece to the highest standard. He will go forward to the national competition later this year facing four other regional winners from across the UK.

We are keeping our fingers crossed and wish him the best of luck at the national awards ceremony later this year.”
