Winner
A Foundation Apprenticeship in Barbering has helped turn around Gavin Williams’ life which hit rock bottom following his father’s death. Gavin, 20, from Llandegfan, who is self-employed at Rubens Male Grooming Salon in LlanfairPG, fought drug addiction to secure a barbering career which has transformed his life.
He has completed a Foundation Apprenticeship in Barbering delivered by Busnes@ LlandrilloMenai and is progressing to an apprenticeship, which will enable him to offer a shaving service using a traditional barber blade and share the skills with other apprentices.
