Final stops on the SkillBuild journey - today we’re in Cumbria!

After the last few weeks of travelling across the UK, it’s inspiring to see such consistent talent and commitment from every competitor we’ve met along the way 💪

SkillBuild has been running for over 40 years, providing a national platform to celebrate construction skills excellence and support emerging talent across the UK. British Gypsum has been proud to support the competition for over 15 years - contributing expertise, materials and hands‑on support at both regional and national level.

A fantastic way to round off an incredible season of skills, learning and future‑focused talent.

Yesterday we demonstrated spraying Thistle plasters to colleagues from across the industry at the East Leake Build Better Academy.

The session gave attendees the opportunity to ask questions, discuss the benefits and types of jobs suited to spray, and to see a demonstration - from mixing through to cleaning the machine. The team stepped aside while attendees had a go themselves and experienced how spraying Thistle MultiFinish can support productivity, well-being, and apprentices as they enter the trade.

It was incredible to see attendees getting hands-on experience, as well as hearing conversations flow about innovation and the future of plaster.

Thanks to everyone who attended, and we look forward to meeting more people at our roadshows across the country.

We’re constantly adding new dates and locations to our roadshow schedule – keep checking the website to find one near you > https://britishgypsum.arlo.co/w/courses/251-introduction-to-spraying-thistle-plasters
