BABTAC member Kaiya Swain, owner of Kaiya Rose Beauty, was the only UK Competitor to walk away from the 2017 competition with a gold medal.

Kaiya says:

“There are so many benefits to take part in skills competitions including increased self-confidence, more effective team working, better time management and gaining the ability to work under pressure. I would urge every college and independent training provider to enter their students and learners into the WorldSkills UK 2018 and who knows, you could have a gold medallist at Shanghai 2021”
