Meet September’s HIP Learner of the Month winner!
Ryan Birnie won the September HIP Learner of the Month award – we caught up with him to find out what it means to win.
To enter, plumbing and heating students and apprentices must tag us in a photo of their work on social media and use #HIPLOTM. Our favourites (up to a maximum of eight) then go to a public vote at the end of the month before a winner is crowned. For full entry info, click here.
Ryan, a Level 3 plumbing & heating apprentice at Tullos Training Centre and Grampian Plumbing and Heating, was September’s winner after receiving the most public votes and won a bundle from IDEAL Industries.
Ryan, 18, said: “I’m proud of my work and it’s nice to have recognition for the work that I do. I look forward to using the prize on my next Vaillant install!”
The photo he submitted to the award was a boiler replacement, fitting a new Vaillant combi.
He added: “I altered the pipework with copper and press fittings and also installed the electrics and commissioned it.”
He said he is looking forward to completing his apprenticeship and develop his skills as a heating engineer to grow in the industry.
His favourite thing about the industry? “The everyday challenges that it brings. I could be installing a boiler one day, and repairing others the next. Each day brings new challenges to overcome.”
Congratulations, Ryan! Entries are now open for the October award, with a great Knipex tool bundle on offer to the winner!
