With GQA running
ahead of schedule in its assessments for the FIT Show Master Fitter Challenge
the decision has been made to extend the deadline for entries until Friday 15th
January 2016.
GQA, the leading
qualifications awarding organisation for the glass and glazing industries, has
managed and provided assessment and judging for the Master Fitter Challenge
since the first event in 2013. An early influx of entrants for 2016 has allowed
for GQA to bring the first stage of the judging process up to date with the
capacity to handle additional entrants.
Mick Clayton, CEO of
GQA says he has been impressed so far: “We have been impressed with the quality
of entrants, the standards are higher than ever and we believe that this year’s
competition will be tight. There is plenty of opportunity for any companies or
individuals who fancy themselves to be a cut above the rest in fitting windows,
doors and for this year, a solid tiled roof, to prove themselves and be in with
a shout for the £5000 first prize.”
There are cash prizes
totaling £10,000 but for many, the kudos of having the trophy and Master Fitter
Challenge winner’s logo on their vans are the biggest rewards, as past winners
have testified. “Just being a finalist in the competition gave potential
customers the confidence to sign up with us and not our competition” said
one.
All six finalists
will compete live at The FIT Show in Telford during April and will be invited
to attend the lavish FIT Show Gala Dinner, as guests of the organisers, where
the winner will be announced.
