Local Hero Award – Sponsored by
Ben Large, BPL Roofing Ltd

Local Hero- Ben Large

Ben and his team of six came to the Malik family’s
rescue after spotting a Facebook post describing how a cowboy builder had disappeared with £38,000, leaving them with a dangerously incomplete extension for the severely disabled brother.
Building Control found that the roof was resting on a single wall and could have potentially collapsed at any moment.
After reinforcing it, B.P.L Roofing completed the roofing works within two days, free of charge.

LSTA Lead Worker of the Year 2019
Shane White of SW Leadworks has been crowned Leadworker of the Year 2019.

Shane was chosen by a judging panel after a two-day skills test at the Lead Sheet Training Academy’s Training Centre in East Peckham, Kent.
Shane’s excellent work stood out, with the judges praising his attention to detail and the craftsmanship evident in his work.
Shane, 30, is based in Somerset. With his grandfather being a blacksmith and his uncle having worked with lead, metalwork is something that he feels “almost runs in my blood”.

As well as gaining industry recognition, Shane will be awarded a number of career-boosting prizes, including a free week of training at the LSTA, a new set of tools and a copy of the Rolled Lead Sheet Manual.
The competition, now in its eighth year, is sponsored by the Lead Sheet Training Academy and was open to both self-employed leadworkers and those working for contractors.
