MENTOR OF THE YEAR 2024 - Entries Now Closed
Entries are now closed for 2024 - See the winners here.
To achieve the best results, not only do decorators need good quality tools, they also require a high level of craftmanship and a unique set of skills. With Mentor of the Year, we seek to recognise and give back to mentors from across the industry who are having a positive impact on those learning the trade, whether they have their own painting and decorating business, manage or train decorators in a larger firm or lecture at a decorating college.
To nominate your mentor, all you need to do is submit an entry below explaining how they have inspired you to be the very best. New for 2024, everyone who nominates will receive free Purdy products!
After the first stage of judging, shortlisted nominees will then be invited to a virtual interview, where they can explain more about the skills and beliefs that they are instilling in the next generation of professional painters and decorators.
Finally, one professional painter and decorator and one college lecturer will be selected as Purdy Mentor of the Year winners, receiving £1,000 each during a new awards lunch, held at this year’s Painting and Decorating Show in November. Two runners up will also receive £500 each.
Judging will be based on:
- The skills and ways of working your mentor is instilling in you
- How they inspire you (and others, if applicable) to be the best you can be
- Professional and personal results that have resulted from their mentorship
Entries close on 31st August 2024.
