Midland Lead recently sponsored the North West Roof Training Group Bolton College Apprentice of the Year Award 2022 and are proud to recognise the future talent in the construction sector.
Here at Midland Lead we have always recognised outstanding achievement for those starting out in their career as roofers and sponsoring this award was a honour. The worthy winner, Todd Oatey, was one of many apprentices who took part in several challenges to showcase their skills including tiling, slating and lead work. After winning the award Todd said: "It means a lot to me to win today and I want to thank my employer P Duckworth Roofing and my tutor Luke O'Gorman for all their help and support."*
Midland Lead donated lead and tools for the competition along with goody bags for all the competitors that took part. In attendance was Regional Sales Manager Thomas Lord: "The event was a real showcase of the apprentices' skills and a demonstration of what they have learnt during their time at Bolton College. It was great to see how enthusiastic and passionate the apprentices were about roofing. We recognise that a career in construction is incredibly rewarding, and we wish them all the best as they play a part on strengthening the future of roofing, using lead as a preferred material."
Sue Wharton, Group Training Officer at North West Roof Training Group added: "Apprentices are vital to the prosperity of the roofing sector, and the Roofing Workshop at Bolton College equips individuals with skills and knowledge to achieve success. Midland Lead's involvement is inspirational and offers stimulation and encouragement to those undergoing training. Their sponsorship and involvement in this year's event, took it to another level, and all four finalists excelled."
