WINNER: Apprentice of the Year CONOR MAGEEAN, MARLFIELD JOINERY AND CONSTRUCTION LTD
HIGHLY COMMENDED: Sustainable Building Award MARLFIELD CONSTRUCTION
Kindly sponsored by City & Guilds
A sustainable restoration, transforming rather than replacing a cottage built over 200 years ago with breathtaking views over Strangford Lough, has secured the Highly Commended Sustainable Building Award for Marlfield Construction. Purchased with an energy rating of G, the retrofit has boosted the rating to A. Marlfield Construction achieved the transformation with external, floor and roof insulation and internal lime plastering, following damp proofing to the original building. A new heating system was installed featuring a sustainable air-source heat pump complemented with triple glazing and solar panels. The client was delighted with the outcome, and pleased they didn’t listen to previous advice to demolish the house, instead retaining two centuries of building history.
Already establishing himself as a future leader in Northern Ireland’s construction sector at just 20 years old, Conor Mageean has mastered both site carpentry and workshop joinery. Starting his apprenticeship at 16, Conor has producing everything from structural roofing to bespoke hardwood doors for listed buildings. His character truly sets him apart with Conor, early in his apprenticeship, raising concerns for a fellow apprentice’s wellbeing and demonstrating empathy and maturity beyond his years. Now completing his NVQ Level 3, Conor mentors new recruits, champions joinery in his community and continues to raise the bar for what an apprentice can be.
