Flooring Apprentice Award Winners 2022

This year, FloorNZ has again enlisted Scott Cato, a legend in the flooring industry to travel to the workplaces to present the award to top-performing apprentices. This is a great opportunity for the award winners to celebrate their achievement with their peers and colleagues.

All award presentations will include a morning tea shout in the workplace. Scott will coordinate and plan with BCITO Training Advisors and employers to ensure a memorable event celebrating each apprentice’s fantastic achievement.

BCITO congratulates all this year's award winners for the dedication they have shown throughout their training.
