F.Ball is reaffirming its commitment to inspiring the flooring contractors of the future by sponsoring the competition, which is now in its 11th year.
Apprentices can enter themselves or be nominated by their college tutor or employer via the CFA’s website. They just have to be enrolled on a registered apprenticeship scheme.
The winner will receive specialist flooring equipment and clothing worth over £7,000 together with £1,000 in cash, as well as being the subject of a two-page feature in CFJ.
The closing date for entries is 31 March 2023. The winner will be invited, along with their employer and tutor, to attend a presentation ceremony at the FITA training centre in Loughborough and announced at the CFJ Flooring Industry Awards.
F. Ball sales director, Darren Kenyon, said: “Encouraging young people to consider a career in flooring is essential for the future of the industry. Celebrating the work of talented apprentices is a great way of doing this, so we are delighted to be sponsoring the Flooring Apprentice of the Year competition for an 11th time.”
