SCOLMORE SPONSORS THE SECOND ELECTRICAL
APPRENTICE OF THE YEAR COMPETITION
Following the huge success of the inaugural event last year, which attracted more
than 400 entrants from across the UK, Scolmore Group has announce its continued
sponsorship of the NICEIC and ELECSA Electrical Apprentice of the Year competition.
Now in its second year, the competition launches in September 2016, for all Level 3
students, and will once again seek to test the skills and knowledge of those candidates
who put themselves forward. The brightest talents will be rewarded with a range of
prizes – including holiday vouchers worth £2,000 for the winner, £750 for the runner up
and £250 for third place. The eight finalists will also each receive an engraved trophy, an
iPad and a ‘Van Pack’ of Scolmore products, while the college of the overall winner will
receive £1,000 worth of Scolmore products.
Commenting on the company’s continued association with the initiative, Marie Parry,
Scolmore marketing director, said, ‘We couldn’t be more pleased with how last year’s event went. The talent of the individuals
who made it through to the finals was very impressive indeed and we are hoping to build on this success and attract even more
entries and industry interest as the competition gathers momentum.’
