Alfie has struggled with dyslexia from an early age, but he’s not let this stop him from pursuing his passion for construction, progressing from a Multi Skills Level 1 Construction programme to a Level 1 Diploma in Bricklaying.
In November 2024, Alfie commended for the exceptional progress he has made throughout his studies at the Youthbuild UK’s Young Builder of the Year Awards 2024.
Alfie was commended in the 14-18 category and was one of ten finalists at the prestigious awards ceremony, which was held at the House of Commons on Wednesday 20th November 2024.
Alfie said: “I was overwhelmed to be commended for such a highly regarded award in the construction industry. The bricklaying workshop at College is my happy place and I really enjoy being able to work with others and learn from them, as well as share my knowledge. My Bricklaying Tutor Chris Leaf and my Support Worker Phil Evans have been nothing but supportive throughout my studies. I would like to progress onto an apprenticeship in Bricklaying and own my own business one day.”
