Local CAFRE floristry graduate ‘blossoms’

A local graduate of the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (CAFRE) has been selected to take part in a prestigious competition which could see her jet off to Shanghai next year.

Clara Agnew gained her Levels 2 and 3 diplomas in Floristry from CAFRE’s Greenmount Campus between 2017-19 and has now been selected for the WorldSkills UK Talent Programme known as Squad UK.

The working florist from Hamiltonsbawn said: “I am over the moon to be getting this opportunity to be part of Squad UK. I’m really excited to start my WorldSkills training so I can further develop my floristry skills and techniques, which will not only increase my competition chances but also be invaluable to me as a professional florist.”

Eighteen months further training has now begun and will see Clara compete against her fellow Squad UK members for a place at Euro Skills 2020 in Graz, Austria. From here a single highly skilled and talented UK florist will travel to the WorldSkills competition in Shanghai in 2021.
