Edinburgh tiling instructor wins first round in Birmingham

Bantamweight boxer Matthew McHale (26) has left the tiles behind as he takes his place with Team Scotland at this year’s Commonwealth Games being held in Birmingham. His day job involves helping people start new careers in tiling with Edinburgh-based Trades Training School, whilst most of his spare time is taken up with another sort of training: boxing at Lochend Gym.

Recently Matty’s career has taken off under the close watch of head coach Terry McCormack. A member of Boxing Scotland’s team, Matty competed at the World Championships in October last year, and at the European Championships in May.

Like Matty, Trades Training School owner Antony O’Neil also has a passion for boxing and the pair first met in 2016 at Lochend Gym. Antony went on to become one of Matty’s local business sponsors, and in 2018 Matty joined Trades Training School as a training assistant. Since then, Matty has become a qualified tiling instructor whilst continuing his boxing training with the full support of his work colleagues.

Antony commented: “Recruiting Matty has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Matty has managed to balance his boxing training with his teaching career and has excelled in both. He's a respected instructor at the school, however, we'll all be delighted to see his boxing career take over.”

We’re working with Trades Training School to create social media content and secure press coverage to support Matty’s journey.
