CPI EuroMix visited bricklaying students at the college earlier this month and also supplied bulk bags of limesand training material for them to use.

Speaking on the visit, Yvonne Foley from CPI EuroMix said: “We were delighted to meet the bricklaying staff and students. We were greeted so warmly and were inspired by the students’ talent and the staff’s dedication. It was inspiring to see so many students pursuing careers in bricklaying – we certainly look forward to seeing them on sites in the future!”
