I was delighted to see North Wales being chosen for such a major important and innovative event which attracted entries from across the world.
It really is great for Coleg Cambria to be recognised for its contribution to developing advanced manufacturing and mechanical engineering skills in my region.
I was also pleased to see a former student from the college, Charlie Samson, who was part of the UK team. Congratulations must go to everyone who took part and made the competition a great success.

Apprentices from around the world were asked to design and build a unique innovative radio-controlled crane, within a maximum of 22 working hours.
