Tool manufacturer Hultafors has confirmed its sponsorship of the inaugural BTX Carpentry & Joinery Learner of the Year competition.
The BTX Carpentry & Joinery Learner of the Year competition is the first category aimed specifically at trade newcomers, and has been created to recognise emerging talent, raise standards and encourage more young people to pursue careers in the trade.
As part of the sponsorship, Hultafors will provide prize packs for all competition entrants, from regional heats through to runners-up and winners, with enhanced prizes for finalists.
Hultafors is also contributing educational support to the competition, supplying product features, tool selection guidance and practical tips for inclusion in the BTX handbook distributed to colleges. Online product videos and advice content will further support learners in understanding what to look for when purchasing tools.
Hultafors Group UK marketing manager for Hardware, Nicki Hickman, commented: “It was an obvious choice for us to support this competition. It gives learners the chance to challenge themselves and start making connections that will support them throughout their careers.”
