(The competition) was the highest achievement an apprentice could receive, which was recognised by family, friends, trades and businesses. As a result of the award I was invited onto The Paul O’Grady Show and TV regional news.

This is the best event we’ve been to with presentations. It’s long enough, but not too long. You get a clearer understanding of what these companies actually do, rather than speaking to just another person in a call centre. We’ve been trying to get into Pegler Yorkshire before but never got anywhere. We like to get our boys sponsored. Now we know what is available to us.

The national plumbing competition which HIP runs has matured me as a person as well as a plumber. When I go back to work, I will be able to evaluate things a lot better, knowing that I am capable as I have been tested to such a high standard.

HIP Magazine has given us at Pegler Yorkshire an unparalleled opportunity to engage with the people who are influencing future generations of plumbing and heating. Without the access into the colleges that HIP Magazine has given us across the UK, we could never have built the relationships that currently exist between us and so many of the brand ambassadors which are teaching future plumbing and heating engineers every year, which is why we have now signed up to continue advertising for three years.

We’re delighted to have signed a three-year contract with HIP Magazine, to tie in with our Turning Pro campaign. The Meet the Lecturers series are some of the most important dates in our calendar for engaging with our future customers. The lecturers are the ones that initiate brand awareness with students and the Meet The Lecturer Series increases the chance of us being the first plumbers’ merchant that future plumbers all over the UK engage with, which is a unique opportunity we could not get anywhere else.
