Two apprentices at Carlisle College were nominated for categories and the college itself was nominated in the small college/training provider of the year in the Plastering and Interior Trades Training Awards.
The awards, held in the prestigious Plaisterers Hall in London, was a gala event attracting some of the largest employers and major college groups from across the whole country.
Deniss Fridenbergs was runner-up in the apprentice of the year category and Eddie Celmins was runner-up in the student of the year award. Carlisle College was also named as a runner-up.
Deniss is an apprentice plasterer studying at Carlisle College and Eddie is a full-time student at Carlisle College and studies in its construction faculty.
