Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Plumb Centre has launched Gen T, a new initiative focused on better understanding and supporting the next generation of trade professionals.
Earlier this year, Plumb Centre sat down with a group of young plumbers and heating engineers, apprentices, newly qualified tradespeople and those just finding their feet in the industry to better understand their experiences. Those initial conversations provided the foundation for Gen T, and Plumb Centre is now looking to hear from a much broader cross-section of the industry.
Plumb Centre, working alongside NAPIT, CIPHE and brands including Bristan, Milwaukee and Grundfos, has launched a national industry survey inviting tradespeople from across the industry to share their experiences and help shape future support for those entering the trade.
The survey is open to tradespeople of all ages and experience levels. By bringing together views from across the trade, Plumb Centre hopes to build a clearer picture of the challenges younger tradespeople face, identify what would genuinely help and understand what the industry could be doing better.
To thank those who take part, there are a range of prizes available throughout the survey. Every completed section earns an entry into a prize draw, with those who complete the full survey also entered into the grand prize draw to win a Milwaukee M18 FUEL Promo Powerpack worth £750 RRP. Additional prizes include a prize bundle from Bristan, a selection of Grundfos prizes, a Makita site radio and Digifunk radios.
