Pegler Yorkshire invited the lecturers of the colleges who made it to the 2017 HIP UK Heating Apprentice of the Year final to experience one of their student visit days.

The event showcased what the HIP Magazine competition’s sponsor can provide for colleges throughout the UK, and included presentations on where their products are used, table discussions on errors to avoid and a tour of the entire Pegler Yorkshire factory.

It was attended by the HIP UK Heating Apprentice of the Year judge Tony Kite, HIP Magazine editor Becky Martin and lecturers from Coleg y Cymoedd and Bradford College.

With such a vast and unique range to offer, the Pegler Yorkshire student days are a chance for the installers of the future to get to grips with the products before they have to use them once they are qualified.

Glenn Schofield, Technical Training Support Manager – Commercial, said: “We wanted to do something different that will stick in the students’ minds in the long run.

“With a large factory here in the UK, in Doncaster, it’s a great opportunity for students to see the array of jobs that exist in that kind of environment.

“Pegler Yorkshire is keen to work with the next generation of installers as we know that they will be our future customers, so this is another way that we are engaging with student plumbers and heating engineers.”
