The deadline for nominations closes at the end of this month for OFTEC 2014 Awards for Excellence.
Registered technicians can self-nominate in three categories: oil boiler installer of the year; oil cooker/stove installer of the year; and oil tank installer of the year. They can also make nominations for two further categories – trainee of the year and, for the first time, a lifetime achievement award, open to both technicians and trade association members. Nominations for further awards for servicing and commissioning technicians of the year will be made by OFTEC inspectors, based on their visits.
The award presentations take place on Tuesday June 24, at the Nailcote Hall Hotel and Leisure Club, near Coventry. All award winners will receive a cheque for £500, a recognised endorsement of the quality of their work and significant publicity, which will undoubtedly benefit their business. They will also be able to use the Awards logo on their vehicle and stationery, as further confirmation of best practice.
Malcolm Farrow, of OFTEC, said:
“The Awards for Excellence isn’t just about patting winners on the back, it’s about helping to raise industry standards by highlighting those individuals who show best practice in their work and encouraging others to do the same.
“The Awards provide the perfect opportunity for them to boost their businesses by receiving official recognition for their work. Entering the Awards is quick and simple and we’ve got a great day lined up around them so we hope to see as many people as possible for what promises to be an excellent event.”
This year’s Awards celebration will follow a morning trade show, with workshops and seminars focusing on industry topics, and a buffet lunch.
Registration is open now at: www.oftecbigevent.co.uk and, with numbers limited, early booking is advised. Attendance at the trade show and seminar programme is free, while tickets for the buffet lunch and awards event are just £10.
All OFTEC registered technicians attending the awards event will be entered in a draw to win an Apple iPad. They will also receive a delegate pack worth £40, which includes a business builder kit, CD14 pad, warning stickers, OFTEC pocket guide, and an OFTEC Direct discount voucher.
