Two Ayrshire students have shattered the glass ceiling of the construction by becoming a housebuilder's first female apprentice bricklayers in Scotland.
Billie Murray, 22, and Chantelle Muir, 21, are set to receive the John Mather Award this week for their work.
Persimmon West Scotland, who work in partnership with Ayrshire College, first spotted Billie, from Cumnock, and Chantelle, from Ayr, through their work in the college and offered both their first taste of construction with an SVQ level 6 apprenticeship in bricklaying.
