Cornwall’s inaugural Apprenticeship Games were held at Cornwall College St Austell.

Businesses and organisations with apprentices battled it out in a range of events that tested their mental, physical and creative skills.

Each team took turns at a gaming challenge on a PS4, a University Challenge-style quiz round with mascots and buzzers, a cake decorating challenge, a rowing and cycling stage, a blindfold team-building challenge and a task involving getting tyres across a room without touching the floor.

The event was an addition to National Apprenticeship Week, said The Cornwall College Group.

Teams taking part included Whyfield, Wales & West Utilities, Imerys, Pall Corporation who won the Silver Award, Cornwall Council who won the Bronze Award, Parnall Engineering Advanced, winners Pendennis, Exeter University, Ocean Housing Group and Eden Project.
