Apprentice of the Year 2021 Highlights

We’re looking for the next BMI Apprentice of the Year

We’re looking for roofing apprentices from across the country to come together at the annual Apprentice of the Year competition and test their skills in front of a panel of industry judges. The winners will receive a generous cash prize of £1000 and the prestigious title of Apprentice of Year, as well as three years’ worth of training support from the BMI Academy. 

Last year, following an exciting and challenging two days, roofing apprentices Jamie Scott, of Bourne-based Sandall Roofing, and Brandon McGrail-Manning, of SPV Group, Walsall, were declared winners of the 2021 BMI Apprentice of the Year competition. Jamie, who trains at Leeds College of Building, was the winner of the Pitched Roofing category, while Juniper Training student Brandon won the Flat Roofing category. 

The entry period for this year’s competition is now closed and we’re looking forward to welcoming the finalists and their tutors to the Apprentice of the Year final on the 20th and 21st July 2022 at the BMI Academy.

This year’s theme is “Empower” and we are looking for apprentices who can demonstrate how they empower themselves and others by playing an active role across the roofing community and beyond. Finalists will be coached during the event on a range of topics from presentation skills and social media for business through to estimating and making technical assessments.
