The motion

That the Parliament congratulates William Bradley and Christopher Wood, who are both from Orkney, on being awarded the James Birnie Award for Craft Excellence and named runner-up in the Construction Specialist of the Year category respectively at the Scottish Building Apprenticeship and Training Council (SBATC) Apprentice of the Year Awards 2013; understands that the James Birnie award, which it considers prestigious, recognises the talents of Scotland’s traditional craft apprentices on four-year SVQ level 3 programmes; notes that the new category of construction specialist award is for apprentices working toward SVQ level 2 specialist skill apprenticeships; considers that both William and Christopher deserve credit for the dedication that they have shown to their crafts and the hard work they have put in throughout their apprenticeships to develop their undoubted talents; commends the tutors and supervisors who are passing on what it sees as valuable skills to a new generation; wishes William and Christopher well for their future studies and careers; hopes that these awards will continue to showcase what it sees as the bright future of the construction industry, not just in Orkney but across Scotland, and offers its congratulations to all of the nominees.
