Representing SAS International, the team fully embraced the challenge by planning, coordinating and producing a WW1 memorial to celebrate Maybole\u2019s long standing tradition of paying tribute to those who have fought in world conflicts.<\/p>\n

Using the skills they developed during the course of their apprenticeship, along with materials available on site at SAS International, the team created the stunning anamorphic sculpture that displayed a poppy from one perspective and the number \u20181918\u2019 from another view.<\/p>\n

Up against innovative and driven apprentices nationally, the team came out on top. Katie Hutton commented \u201cAs judges, we were impressed with how the team from SAS tackled such a complex project, its impact on the community and the legacy that it delivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well done to our champs Lauren, Ben and Declan for this amazing win!<\/p>\n
