Mira Showers is supporting the nation’s young installer by sponsoring this year’s HIP UK Heating Apprentice of the Year competition. The annual event, launched in 2009, represents a great opportunity to recognise the hard work, ability and dedication of the next generation of installers.
The regional heats offered apprentices across the country the chance to participate in a series of challenges and practical tasks to test their skills and pit themselves against other students at a national level. With the heats now concluded, the winners of each, plus the person who received the highest score overall from all, are going forward to a grand final to be held in Cheltenham at the end of March.
For its part, Mira has donated over 100 mixer showers to the competition for competitors to install as part of their practical tests; and is providing prizes to the regional finalists and the overall winner.
In 2017, Mira is also seeking to add five new apprentices itself – two in business administration, and three in engineering.
