• Screwfix Trade Apprentice 2024 – Sunday Deadline

No sooner entries for the Screwfix Trade Apprentice 2024 competition opened and they’re about to close this Sunday 18 February.

The competition only opened on 5 February but the competition is so popular, it can afford a shot window…although The Installer has it on good authority that the deadline will be extended by at least a week.

Ten

This will be the tenth year of the Screwfix Trade Apprentice. This year’s champion will receive the title, and a career-boosting trade bundle worth £10,000, including £5,000 of tools, a £3,000 training budget and £2,000 worth of technology.

What’s more, the champion’s college will receive £2,000 worth of Screwfix vouchers to spend on workshop equipment, helping to upskill tomorrow’s trade professionals.

2023

Katie Jones, 23, from Burscough was crowned Screwfix Trade Apprentice in 2023. An apprentice gas engineer studying at Southport College, Jones impressed the judges with her passion, dedication and ambition to become an ambassador to inspire more females to enter the industry.

She said: “Winning Screwfix Trade Apprentice has been beyond amazing. Not only did I get to share my story of working in the trade so far but off the back of the competition, I’ve been able to get involved in other campaigns looking at trade skills and helping to make the industry as inclusive as possible.

“I feel so lucky to have been given a platform to pave the way for other females like me who have a real passion for their trade. Winning the tools, tech and training has bolstered my knowledge and practical skills, equipping me with everything I need to succeed. It’s been such an exciting year since being crowned the 2023 champion. I’d strongly encourage other apprentices out there to apply – it really does change your life”
