A pair of budding apprentices from Climarite Refrigeration have reached the final stages in two of the most prestigious awards in their industry.
Michael (Mick) Brady and Alex Forkings beat fierce competition to become shortlisted in the Be Inspired Business Awards (BIBAs) for 鈥淎pprentice Team of the Year鈥�, as well as the RAC Cooling Industry Awards in the 鈥淪tudent of the Year鈥� category.
The pair were nominated by their employer as well as tutors at City of Liverpool College, where both apprentices are studying a three-year part-time course in Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps (RACHP). Alex and Mick are also employed under full-time contract at Climarite Refrigeration, commercial and industrial RAC specialists.
For each of these prestigious awards the apprentices endured three separate stages including written applications, video and in-person interviews. Each of the award organisers praised the applicants for reaching the final stages, especially given the high number and calibre of entrants this year.
Both apprentices have reached the final round in the BIBAs, with Alex reaching the final in the RAC Cooling Industry awards.
The RAC Cooling Industry Awards ceremony will take place on Thursday 19th September at London鈥檚 Grosvenor House, immediately followed by the BIBA Awards at Blackpool Tower Ballroom on 20th September. Both apprentices will attend the black-tie gala dinner events to find out if they have won.
