2015 Trophy Brochure 2015 Premier Trophy Awards MAIN SPONSOR Foreword These 2015 awards with a total of seventy eight entries received covering all facets of the painting and decorating industry, while overall to a varying standard, the general quality as recorded being good to a better standard. It is not underestimated the difficulties that you who work in the finishing and protection sector of the construction industry face on a daily basis. Be it from job enquiry through to completion then handover. Should it be Historical; Restoration; New Construction; or Small Domestic Projects etc. With the growing team of independent Judges there is a need for all to maintain a close working relationship, from the time the PDA hand over the entries prior to shortlisting, through all the site visits procedures to be carried out with equal and factual process, then this concludes in the merit of each visited project being considered prior to awards being made on a like for like basis properly. It is recorded these awards not only cover a particular project but also the business acumen and customer care generally of a contractor, this an essential requirement when these awards commenced 28 years ago. This year in order to ensure detailed analysis of projects by the Judges who travelled England; Wales and Scotland, a review of categories took place in 2014. This resulted in 2015 site visits, in categories; Commercial twenty visits; Decorative eleven visits; Industrial seven visits; Small Contractors ten visits; Highly Decorative (Reinstated for 2015 Awards) ten visits. The presentation of each entry, including the photographs is a key in the selection of the projects and contractors work to be short listed along with the client completed declaration. It is always helpful for Judges to meet clients or their representative when on site and may lead to positive consideration when the awards are made. Interesting visits this year, included a site with late instruction to proceed for the backdrop in a TV soap programme court case, while another being visits to – Number 1 London – home to a previous Prime Minster that also has connections to a military man in Sheffield. Security of certain projects during the works has been highlighted by clients, along with alarm systems being maintained, water penetration by leaking services or defective roof coverings have been noted, including on one major project, that required the vast ceiling/roof area to be pressure washed, the contaminated waste collected and removed from site above the public pedestrian used areas. Small Contractors have not been over looked, it is often here the clients have a great influence. Those who provide sponsorship on a regular basis not only support quality but provide the industry and clients with detailed information and encouragement. This sponsorship is enormously appreciated. Well done and congratulations to all who have taken part in the 2015 awards process with overall many high quality and interesting entries. Bob Hewitt: PP: FICWCI: GGLI; ACIOB Independent Judge for PDA Premier Trophy Awards 2015 3 Competition PDA Apprentice/Trainee Awards Report for 2015 Phil Burgess - College Lecturer, Competition Organiser, Vice President of the APCT This year’s Painting and Decorating Association FINALIST apprentice/trainee competition was in its seventeenth year Hayley Grindon of the competition. The competition received a very healthy turnout of 30 entries which included mainly apprentices and a handful of full time learners. Entries ranged from all levels of the study programme with an age range from 16 – 25 years of age. Each northern and southern heat also consisted of a good mixture of male and female trainees. The 30 entries travelled from far and wide for the heats and in some cases travelled the day before to ensure they were well prepared for battle. The entries that made their way on the day were up and off as early as 4 am to ensure they reached their destinations in good time. This was lovely to see that these keen competitors had the key foundations to succeed in a successful future by demonstrating they were eager, punctual and truly independent. The competition heats were open to all levels of work based learners (Apprentices) or fulltime students who are training and currently seeking employment within the craft. The overall quality, tool skills, and professionalism were outstanding from start to finish and a real pleasure to observe. It also gives great assurance in abundance, much pleasure and heaps of satisfaction to know that our craft is in safe hands in terms of quality, and as such, required skills are passed on and adopted by these future craft persons. My hat goes off to Ian Williams Ltd, Novus property solutions, FINALIST Alfred Bagnalls and the smaller Painting and Decorating outfits Ben Deer who year after year continue to support the PDA national competition and encourage their future craftsmen and women to compete and demonstrate their skills with true determination and professionalism. The Southern Heat was held on the 13 March 2015 at Weston Super Mare College in Somerset. A grade 1 Ofsted College, with a well-equipped Painting and Decorating workshop, ample space and bay areas to accommodate the competition. This heat also coincided with National Apprentice week which is recognised and designed to celebrate apprenticeships and the positive impact they have on individuals, businesses and the wider economy. The Northern Heat was held one week later on the 20 March 2015 at South Leicester College, the second time the competition has been held there due to fantastic staff, workshops and resources. The competition was held on the main floor of a modern building for all the students to view the competition behind a clear glass partition in a large open workshop. I must mention and sincerely thank College lecturers Paul Vowles (Weston Super Mare) and Paul Thornewell (South Leicester College) along with their Painting and Decorating students for all their hard work and generosity in helping to ensure each 4 Premier Trophy Awards 2015 competitors work areas were set up and finished in good time The two highest scoring finalists from both heats were judged for each heat to take place.
