Building on the momentum of its first two successful years, the HIP Female Skills Competition is set to return for its third annual event in 2025.
In February and March next year, HIP will travel to three regions across the country, in search of the top rising stars in the plumbing and heating industries. Level 2 and 3 learners from colleges nationwide will compete in a live, practical installation test. Each regional winner and runner-up will progress to the Grand Final, where they will compete for this prestigious award. The competition will be designed and judged by Jerry Whiteley, Technical Manager at the CIPHE.
Zoë Tanner, Managing Director at HIP, said: “We’re thrilled to bring back the HIP Female Skills Competition for its third year. The continued support from industry leaders has been incredible, and it’s heartening to see how this competition helps learners build confidence and take pride in their work. Supporting the next generation of skilled professionals has never been more crucial, and we’re excited to see what 2025 will bring.”
Running alongside HIP Female Skills Competition will be the Meet the Manufacturer series, which gives manufacturers the chance to network with and update lecturers on the latest industry and product innovations.
