Capel Manor College students win WorldSkills UK Landscape Gardening Competition at IOG SALTEX.

Geosynthetics Limited, sponsors of the WorldSkills UK Landscape Gardening Competition, would like to congratulate Johannes Pasch and Jack Carnell, students from Capel Manor College for winning first place in the final at IOG Saltex on the 10th September.

We would also like to thank all the competitors who took part and made it such a good competition; CAFRE from Northern Ireland, Oatridge College from Edinburgh and Otley College from Ipswich.

The event was organised by the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) on behalf of UK Skills and was fought out at Windsor Racecourse over the four day event.  The 4 teams had 22 hours to build their 7x7m gardens designed by Andy Sturgeon. The judges; Mark Gregory from Landform Consultants, Charlie Maclauchlan from Country Gardens and Keith Chapman (an ex competitor from the International WorldSkills Team UK 2007 competition) advised that the students from Capel Manor College Gunnersby picked up those vital winning points for their precision of measurement and work processes.

We wish all the competitors success for the future.
