Needlemakers' City and Guilds Prizewinner Adam Griffiths receives his Certificate from HRH Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday 8 June.

Adam's citation said:

'Adam undertook a four-year apprenticeship and throughout his training his ability was noted as being exceptional. Not only did he gain distinction grades, but he also won bronze and gold medals at skills shows and led a team to victory in the ‘Great British Weld Off’ competition where they designed and created a replica of the London Eye. He has become extremely skilled in both sheet metalwork and design and is therefore invaluable to his employer. He is considering embarking on an engineering degree to further his knowledge and employment opportunities.'
