Emily was presented with a cheque from the Chairman of Bowmer & Kirkland, John Kirkland, after the scheme was launched following completion of the £48 million Roundhouse campus restoration and building programme.

Emily is hoping to continue to the next level in plastering, complete other construction-based training and then set up her own business in the field.
