WorldSkills London 2011: The Event




Hi, I'm Peter Davies and I'm the Technical Director here at WorldSkills London 2011.

There is just less than two years to go before WorldSkills hits London, but our work is already well underway. There is a massive amount of planning that goes into putting on an event such as ours and we're determined to make sure that everything goes above and beyond all expectation in October 2011. We had a fantastic experience this year out in Calgary and are confident of delivering something even mroe spectacular when it's our turn!

As Technical Director, I have a broad array of responsibilities, ranging from ensuring that competitors have all of the necessary equipment and materials to designing the layout of the event itself - when you consider the hugely diverse range of skills on display, this is no mean feat! Needless to say that the things we have to take into consideration for the health and beauty competitors vary somewhat to that of the carpenters and bricklayers!

Before joining the WorldSkills London 2011 team, I worked on a number of large-scale events, such as The Good Food Show and the Queen's Golden Jubilee Concerts. WorldSkills London 2011 is another great opportunity to showcase, not only the amount of vocational talent, but also the UK's ability to put on an outstanding, world-class event. So please come and join us in October 2011 and see for yourself the incredible talents of some of the most skilled young people in the world and enjoy what promises to be a spectacular event.
