Final UK Master Fitter Competition 2012 during The Skills Show

The Final of the UK Master Fitter Competition will be integrated in The Skills Show Birmingham. This biggest live skills event in the United Kingdom is held at the NEC in Birmingham next November. During the final the winners of 6 regional heats earlier this year will compete at a national level. The UK Master Fitter Final will take place over two days, the 16th and 17th of November 2012.

‘It promises to be a good promotional event for our industry’, says Pim de Ridder of the International Automotive Glass Federation. ‘The winners of the regional heats are already champions and watching them together during the national competition in November will be good for our entire specialized sector. It will once more underline the importance of training and certifying our technicians at high level. Not only in the United Kingdom, but also internationally’.

After an interruption of a couple of years the UK competitions started with the need to send the best national representative to The International Master Fitter Competition during the glasstec trade-show in Düsseldorf, Germany. Pim de Ridder: ‘Two years ago a group of colleagues in the UK decided to dig out the phenomenon of a national competition first. This has made a big impression and inspired to continue. We are really looking forward to see the event in Birmingham this year’.

The International Master Fitter Competition 2012 will take place on 25 and 26 October, so before the Birmingham event. The UK Organisational Committee will decide on the United Kingdom’s delegate soon.
