Bugols of Narberth

We have shavings to give away…..just come up to our Workshop & take it away!! It is a mixture of woods, so i don’t think it will be suitable for horse bedding. But check with us just in case.

Press release-17/10/08

Pembrokeshire College Carpentry & Joinery NVQ3 student Rhydian Williams returned inspired from competing in the SkillBuild British final in Leeds recently. He was placed in the top 6 after 2 & half days of competition where regional finalists had to demonstrate their skills and accuracy to make and finish a door.

Lecturers & students in his class were very proud of his achievment & several students are interested in taking part in the SkillBuild competition next year as a result of Rhydian’s endeavours.

Rhydian is also determined to enter the competition again. ”It was a really good experience & will be good for my C.V. I would love to enter next year after gaining more experience as a joiner.”

”This year’s winner is 21 & had been in the competition 3 years running, so in theory i have another 3 opportunities to enter,” commented 18 year old Rhydian.

”I’m very fortunate as my employer, Bugols Of Narberth, is very supportive & Carl my boss gave me the week off to compete as part of my work experience.”

SkillBuild competitions are open to all 17-21 year olds currently training in construction through further education colleges or work-based apprenticeships.

Rhydian has gained a huge amount of knowledge & experience as a modern apprentice with Bugols of Narberth that combines attending college for 2 days a week in the 1st year & 1 day a week in the 2nd & 3rd year to achieve NVQs in Carpentry & joinery at levels 2 & 3.

On the 28th October, Bugols are off to the W8 Trade Exhibition for all Wood Manufacturing. W8 Working with wood is the two yearly focus point for all of the wood manufacturing industries. Joinery, construction and furniture manufacturers are central to W8 which is a ‘must see’ event for all those working in, with or around wood.

Internationally acclaimed chain saw artist, Andrew Frost, will be shaping The Beauty Of Wood at the exhibition.
