THE SkillBuild National Final is the ultimate stage of the UK’s largest construction skills competition – and it’s where the most talented trainees from across the country put their skills to the test. Taking place on 19 – 20 November 2025 at Arena MK in Milton Keynes, the National Final will see the top scorers from this year’s Regional Qualifiers compete in their chosen trades.
Congratulations to the competing finalists for the Wall & Floor Tiling category:
Ryan Holt – Preston College
Sam Durham – Preston College
Harvey Greaves – Leeds College of Building
Nicholas Bennison – Royal Engineers
Travis Huntley – Cardiff and Vale College
Alex Ainley – Cardiff and Vale College
Alan Holubowicz – Southern Regional College
Joseph Burgess – Cardiff and Vale College
Presented in no particular order, these finalists have demonstrated outstanding technical ability, attention to detail and a real passion for tiling, impressing the judges at the Regional Qualifiers and beating out stiff competition.
Visiting the National Final is completely free and open to everyone. You can also experience what working in construction is really like with skill-based challenges, interactive activities, hands-on demonstrations and more. TTA will be hosting its own ‘have a go’ demonstration stand, helping to educate prospective trainees and apprentices on the benefits of a tiling career.
TTA is proud to support talented construction trainees and apprentices as a sponsor of SkillBuild along with TTA members Building Adhesives Ltd (BAL), N&C Nicobond and Schlüter-Systems.
