I was trained by my father, who was trained by his father. I worked as a plasterer for 30 years, both running my own Company and working for others in a supervisory category. An injury prevented me from continuing in the trade. As a result of this, I decided to share my experiences with those wanting to learn plastering and joined Burnley College as a part time Plastering Lecturer in 2003. In 2004 I became Programme Leader for Plastering at Burnley College, , and run a successful department. Successes the Burnley College plastering team have achieved include the following awards from the Worshipful Company of Plaisterers: Regional Award for Level 2 2005 Clanrye trophy 2005 Clanrye trophy 2006 Harmer trophy 2008 Harmer trophy runner up 2009 Regional Award for level 2 2010 Harmer trophy 2011 Runners up for level 2 Sir John Pirie Cup 2012 Through teaching plastering I have also gained personal achievements of becoming a freeman of the Worshipful Company of Plaisterers, and freedom of the City of London. My experiences, both as a craftsperson and College Lecturer, prompted me to write this book to promote plastering and encourage young people to explore a future in plastering. 1 INDEX CHAPTERS 1.
