Ewan McGregor, 20, has been named the HIP UK Heating Apprentice of the Year for the south west after completing a set of challenging tasks.
Working alongside other aspiring plumbers, the Chichester College student had six hours to finish work, which included installing and hanging two radiators, and connecting them to a boiler using pipework to meet a specified design.

Ewan, who works for Clarkes Services Ltd while completing a Level 2 apprenticeship in plumbing with the college, said: ‘It was challenging, but I really enjoyed it and to win was brilliant.’
Ewan will now be competing in the national final, which will be held in Cheltenham in April.
