Jordan Picot, Exeter College Level 2 Plumbing Apprentice, has once again displayed exceptional skills and training by winning the southern heat of the BPEC SKILLPlumb competition. This follows his success at the HIP plumbing competition just four weeks ago, where Jordan progressed to the national final.

Chris Bennett, Lecturer at Exeter College, said: “Jordan continuingly improves and strives for excellence in everything he does. Jordan’s eye for detail and practical ability are second to none and his relaxed approach is a real positive in high pressure situations.”

Jordan has taken the success in his stride, with the support from his employer Will Slatcher at Go Green Engineering. Will said: “Go Green Engineering would like to congratulate Jordan on his recent achievements, not only has he won this competition, but he has become an apprentice that is dedicated and hardworking, his ability is also exceptional for his level. He is a perfect example of a modern day apprentice for becoming a heating engineer of the future”.

Both competitions cover a wide variety of skills ranging from measuring and marking out to pipe bending and soldering.

Jordan says “I have been given a lot of support from my employer and Exeter college when training for this competition, I think winning it has helped my confidence in finishing a job to a high standard and within an allocated time, I'm so pleased that I won, all that hard work has paid off”.
