In addition to his trophy, he received a voucher for £150 donated by the King's Lynn branch of plumbers' merchants Plumbase, a framed certificate and a copy of the Plumbing Engineering Services Design Guide, worth £40 and a year's student membership of the Institute.

Ashley will be returning to College in September to continue his studies for a further two years. He said he was "pleased and excited" to have won the award.
