The Oxford Mail has reported that a scaffolder from Abingdon, Oxford is on his way to the top after winning a college prize.

Apprentice Shaw Miller, 29, was crowned winner of the scaffolding year 1 category at the National Construction College awards.

The Appleford Drive resident works for Oxford Spires Scaffolding in Didcot and was given the award at a ceremony in Birmingham for his attitude to the 18-month course he started in December.

He said: “I didn’t realise what a big deal it was until I got there. I guess it was my attitude towards work. I am always trying to improve myself. It’s a good honest job. It’s very hard work but it’s rewarding.”

Mr Miller is currently working on the Chestnut Fields housing development in Chilton.
