The winners will receive a cash prize of £1,000 and three years’ worth of training support from the BMI Academy, as well as the prestigious title of either BMI Redland Apprentice of Year in Pitched Roofing or the BMI Icopal Apprentice of the Year in Flat Roofing 2025.

Entrants must be a roofing apprentice or student (in either flat or pitched roofing) currently working towards qualified status and the competition is open to residents of the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and the Republic of Ireland, aged over 16 years.

Judges will be looking at several aspects of the apprenticeship. From roofing skills to teamwork to general business and leadership skills, the competition is open to apprentices who want to test their skills and learn from renowned and highly experienced industry experts.

The competition takes place over 2-days on Wednesday July 23rd & Thursday July 24th 2025 at the BMI Academy in Gloucestershire.



“The competition was an amazing experience to be involved in and it’s something I’ll never forget. Honestly, I would say to just try your best and go for it. Pushing yourself is how you build your confidence and grow.”
