Ben Rowlands, NFRC Technical Manger–Slating and Tiling, attended each of the regional heats across the UK.
"There was an immense display of talent shown this year, which is a testament not only to learning providers for delivering outstanding training, but to each of the contestants.
"Their drive and ambition to excel in a competition known for its high expectations of standards and workmanship was clearly demonstrated, and I am confident that the finals will be another example of exceptional talent from these young men.
"Myself and NFRC wish each of them the best of luck in November."
