Narrowly beaten by China’s Biao Song in the industrial mechanic millwright section, Mr Ingham said the competition was an amazing experience.
“It was a massive competition, a huge arena and a big stage, so to perform so well and win a silver medal was very exciting and something I wasn’t expecting,” he said.
“This whole WorldSkills competition has been a great journey. The skills that I’ve learnt, the mates that I’ve made, it’s just been an amazing experience.”
He’s employed by Hort’s Engineering and his mentor Chris Hutchison said they were proud of his success.
“Hort Enterprises takes the training and development of our young staff very seriously, so to see all the hard work and effort that Brad put in pay off is wonderful,” he said.
“As an organisation we couldn’t be prouder of Brad and his achievements.”
