As part of our commitment to supporting young people in the roofing industry and promoting the industry to potential new recruits, SIG Roofing has sponsored the BMI Apprentice of the Year competition held on 23rd and 24th July this year at their academy in Gloucester.
The event, now in its eighth year, was created by BMI UK & Ireland, manufacturer of roofing brands Redland and Icopal, and suppliers to SIG Roofing. The competition provides a platform for 10 pitched and 10 flat roofing apprentices to show off their skills over two days, culminating in an Awards Dinner where the two winners are announced. Each winner receives a generous cash prize of £1000, access to three years of free training support from the BMI Academy, and the prestigious title of Apprentice of the Year. This year, SIG Roofing also donated drill set prizes for the winners and tool bags for the finalists.
The winners of this years competition are:
BMI Redland Apprentice of the Year for Pitched Roofing – Harrison Davies, Bolton College & A1 Bespoke Ltd
BMI Icopal Apprentice of the Year for Flat Roofing – Marcus Conlan, CITB & Faskin Group
