MEET THE RUNNER-UP

SPARKS: How does it feel to be called out as the runner-up?

Sam Mackenzie: Amazing! I’m really chuffed with myself!

SPARKS: What has been your biggest takeaway from competing?

SM: The confidence. To go and do something outside of your comfort zone.

SPARKS: What do you think of all the prizes?

SM: The prizes are amazing. I’ve got a couple bits from Milwaukee, IDEAL Industries, Luceco, vouchers and lots of other things too.

SPARKS: How did the final test compare with the regional?

SM: The test today was slightly harder and more technical. Definitely a harder spec.

SPARKS:Have you enjoyed working with all the different products?

SM: It’s been interesting to see such a wide range of different products and from brands that I didn’t even know existed!

SPARKS: What would you say to someone thinking of entering the competition?

SM: Go for it. Don’t hold back. It’s an amazing experience and opportunity!

SPARKS: Finally, what are you going to do to celebrate tonight?

SM: Go to the pub!
