CFA Flooring Apprentice of the Year winner announced

Congratulations to the winner of the 2023 CFA Flooring Apprentice of the Year competition, Mike Waldron from Hillside Contracts Ltd in Leicester.

Mike provided a fantastic case study based on a 4,400m2 commercial flooring project he worked on covering a wide range of flooring types, along with excellent answers to the application questions.

He also submitted a video highlighting how he became to be a floorlayer and his ambition to help others do the same by becoming a Go Construct STEM Ambassador for Flooring and supporting the CFA Future Fitters campaign.

The application was also backed with great recommendations from both his employer and his tutor that led the judges to their unanimous decision that Mike was a more than worthy winner.

Altro was one of the manufacturers who sponsored and supported the Flooring Apprentice of the Year competition by contributing a 2 day floors training course at our head office in Letchworth.

Coming into the flooring industry can be daunting but I have been overwhelmed by the huge range of support, training and guidance offered from so many avenues in the trade. I would like to thank everyone who has helped me to get here, everyone at Floortrain including my tutors Dean and Keith and all of the great team at Hillside Contracts who have been so generous with their time and sharing their experiences, in particular Dave Williams."
