BROMSGROVE-based David Clifford has won the Worcestershire round of the Britain's Favourite Plumber Awards.

They are designed to recognise the best professional tradespeople and are organised by the Institute of Plumbing.

Supported by firms in the industry, the awards are staged every three years.

David now goes through to the Midlands area round.

If successful, he could contest the final which carries a first prize of a trip to Berlin to coincide with the World Plumbing Conference in May 2002.
