An expert welder from Rolls-Royce Submarines Ltd will fly the flag for the UK and the East Midlands at the internationally respected WorldSkills 2022 competition in China later this year.

Will Hunt, who works at the Raynesway site in Derby, was selected after excelling in national welding competitions. He is now part of the 39-strong Team UK and will face off against rivals from 80 countries to bring home gold in their field.

On hearing the news, Will said: “The welding competitions have been an excellent opportunity for me to broaden my welding skills and knowledge. It has also been a great experience welding in a competitive environment at the national finals. To be picked to represent the UK on an international stage is something everyone dreams of and I can only thank Rolls-Royce and my colleagues for the support, training and encouragement they have given me to get this far.
