LILLY IS AIMING HIGH

Lily Moore, a promising apprentice painter & decorator from Bolton, has reached the semi-final stage of Screwfix Trade Apprentice 2024.

Marking a decade of the nationwide competition which shines a light on the UK & Ireland’s very best future talent, this year’s Screwfix Trade Apprentice received more than 1,800 applications.

Entries have now been whittled down to just 33, all of whom are in with the chance of being crowned Screwfix Trade Apprentice 2024 at the national final in May.

Lily, 18, who is currently studying Painting and Decorating at Bolton College, was nominated by her employer, Andrew Hamilton, part owner of AR Décor. He said: “I’m delighted that Lily has reached the semi-finals of Screwfix Trade Apprentice 2024. Since Lily started with us, she has been an absolute breath of fresh air. It’s a great achievement.”

Lily said: “I can’t believe I’ve reached the semi-finals of Screwfix Trade Apprentice 2024. For me, an apprenticeship isn’t just about learning new skills, it’s helped me unlock a passion. To reach the semi-finals is a result of my dedication and determination to embark on a successful career in the trades. I’m really proud to have made it to the semi-finals and I’m excited to showcase my story so far, I hope it’s enough to secure my place in the final and be crowned Screwfix Trade Apprentice 2024.”

This year’s final will return to London in May, where the top 10 apprentices will face a panel of industry experts to showcase why they believe they should be this year’s champion. Only one will be crowned Screwfix Trade Apprentice and receive a career-boosting £10,000 trade bundle made up of tools, tech and training – everything they need to excel in their chosen trade.
