Joint Success







Ex-HCC Carpentry and Joinery students Anthony Feltham and Patrick Martin have both won prestigious industry awards.

Anthony (pictured top) was awarded the City and Guilds Medal for Excellence in the Processing and Manufacturing sector for his exceptional standard of work. He had to contend with over a million other learners nationally for this prize.


Anthony successfully achieved Advanced Construction certificates in Bench Joinery and Site Carpentry, plus a NVQ Level 3 in Bench Joinery while he was at HCC.

He is now using his outstanding skills to make high quality furniture for a prominent furniture specialist company.


Patrick Martin, who also successfully completed Bench Joinery and Site Carpentry at HCC, scooped first prize in the Carpenters’ Craft competition awarded by the Institute of Carpenters, for his amazing work.


John Cotter, Carpentry and Joinery tutor said: “Anthony and Patrick had to compete at a national level for their awards and so it is a true measure of excellence.”

Both men have proven to be amongst the best in the country at their trade - and we are very proud of their achievements.
