and have a genuine enthusiasm for their career.
‘We launched these awards last year to highlight what can be achieved and demonstrate
the standards we should be aiming for. I am pleased to say that their aims seem
to have captured the industry's imagination, and the judges were extremely impressed
by both the quantity and quality of nominations.’
The Awards recognise apprentice installers who have shown a great deal of promise
