Three floristry students from Shuttleworth College made it through to the regional heats of the World Skills UK competition.
The event was staged in the spacious surroundings of Old Warden Park, where Tracey Street, Marysia Hyde and Maria Wolens competed with three others from two establishments elsewhere in the region.
The theme was Royalty and the Jubilee.
All six contestants had to make flower tiaras, a structural arrangement for a Jubilee marquee entrance table, and hand-tied bouquet.
“The three did really well to get through to this stage out of 75 UK entrants. Sadly they didn’t get through to the UK finals,” explained Claire McNamara Floristry Tutor.
“But we were delighted to host the event and especially thank our suppliers Savin Wholesalers for sponsoring this regional event.”
The Bedford College Group has a record number of entrants in this year’s WorldSkills UK across a range of subjects and campuses in Beds and Northants. Bedford College has been a regular competitor in World Skills events, particularly in computing and IT for a decade.
Now that world-class competitive approach has been spread across campuses in Shuttleworth College and Tresham College.
