PDA’s Apprentice of the Year competition is back
Posted: Tuesday, April 9th, 2024
The first regional heat of a nationwide challenge for painting and decorating apprentices has taken place at North Kent College, Gravesend. The Painting and Decorating Association (PDA) hosted the Southern round of its Apprentice of the Year competition at the college, with 11 apprentices from across the region taking part. It’s the 35th year the PDA has hosted the contest, which will include three more regional heats and a Grand Final. The overall winners will be announced at the PDA’s Premier Trophy Awards, a glittering ceremony held at Plaisterers’ Hall, London in July. The competition judges are PDA Chief Executive, Neil Ogilvie and Andrew Davis of the Association of Painting Craft Teachers (APCT). The Southern heat at North Kent College is the first of the regional stages of the contest, with further rounds set to take place at South City College Birmingham, Accrington and Rossendale College and City of Glasgow College ahead of the Grand Final at Doncaster College and University Centre in June.
