The SkillBuild National Final is the ultimate stage of the UK’s largest construction skills competition – and it’s where the most talented trainees from across the country put their skills to the test.
Taking place on 19th–20th November 2025 at Arena MK in Milton Keynes, the National Final will see the top scorers from this year’s Regional Qualifiers compete in their chosen trades. Expect two days of high-level competition, live skill demonstrations and the chance to see the future of construction in action.
Congratulations once again and good luck to the finalists for the Wall & Floor Tiling category:
- Ryan Holt – Preston College

In addition, experience what working in construction is really like with SkillBuild’s Construction Showcase. The Tile Association (TTA) will be hosting its ‘have a go’ demonstration stand, helping to educate prospective trainees and apprentices on the benefits of a tiling career.
TTA is proud to sponsor and support this fantastic competition along with TTA members Building Adhesives Ltd (BAL), N&C Nicobond and Schlüter-Systems. Whether you’re a supporter, employer, educator, or just curious about careers in construction, the National Final is a fantastic opportunity to be inspired and get involved.
