MORECAMBE builder Robert Ozols has become one of the few in the country to be recognised as a Chartered Building Company.

The designation is only awarded to people experienced in all aspects of the building industry following intensive study courses and examinations.

A Former Heysham High School pupil, he's worked locally since leaving school and has been in business for the last eight years.

Said Robert: "It's hard work to study, take exams and still work at the same time but I'm sure it will prove worthwhile."
