SCREWFIX – which has a store in Ludlow - is launching this year’s competition to find and reward the best trade apprentice in the UK.
Brilliant budding builders and the next generation of electricians and plumbers can all enter for the chance to win a trade business package worth £10,000.
This year’s winner will receive a pack including a Google Nexus tablet and a top of the range laptop, as well as £5,000 worth of Screwfix products and up to £3,000 to spend on training courses to further enhance their career.
The way that trades are changing is demonstrated by the fact that the winner last year was a young woman carpenter.
Entries are open until Sunday, March 6, with finalists going head to head. The national final will be held at Google’s head office in April, with the overall winner being named the Trade Apprentice of 2016.
