TWO of Toyota's paint and bodyshop employees have secured top honours in the manufacturer's skills award competition.

Neil Watford won the paint section and Shane Lewer came top in the bodyshop category. Each completed a 45-minute practical test followed by a multiple choice questionnaire to gain the titles. Prizes included trophies, new tools and £1,500 worth of gift vouchers. Both employees will now represent the UK in Toyota's pan-European skills test.
