Lawton Tubes recently had the privilege of visiting both Dudley College and Castleford College to engage with a dynamic group of plumbing students. These events were part of our ongoing mission to inspire, educate, and support the next generation of professionals in the plumbing and heating industry.
At Dudley College, our Director of Exports and Marketing, Robert Lawton, kicked off the session with an engaging presentation about our company’s journey, core values, and dedication to excellence. Following this, Lee Clayton, our Head of Plumbing and Heating, delivered a thought-provoking seminar highlighting sustainability and fire safety two critical pillars of modern plumbing practices.
Adding a personal touch to the day, our Ambassador Peter Booth, also known as PB Plumber, shared his inspiring story as a third-generation plumber. Now a prominent social media figure and our brand ambassador, Pete also treated students to a live pipe-bending demonstration. The highlight? A thrilling pipe-bending challenge, where students showcased their skills and creativity. Congratulations to Landon, who impressed everyone and claimed the top prize!

At Castleford College, the enthusiasm continued with a packed day of discussions and hands-on activities. Robert Lawton and Lee Clayton were joined again by Peter Booth to dive deep into topics such as traditional plumbing, sustainability, and fire safety. Students not only learned about the industry but also got to test their skills in our famous pipe-bending challenge, where the winner walked away with a coveted Velocity Pro Gear Bag!
