A man from Neasden has been commended for his outstanding efforts at an industry award ceremony.

Shane McHugh was named as a runner up in the Plant Mechanics Construction Plant category at this year’s National Construction College Awards.

Mr McHugh, who works for building contractors, Murphy and Son, said: “It is a real honour to be nominated for an award, as the competition here is so steep.

“It’s a privilege to be recognised as among the best in the country.”

He received his accolade from ex-athlete and television presenter Colin Jackson.
