The competition, which is expanding its reach across three regions in the country, offers female learners the opportunity to compete in a live practical installation and showcase their skills.

Each regional winner and runner-up will progress to the Grand Final, where they have the opportunity to gain not only recognition as a finalist or winner but also to win fantastic prizes.

The competition is supported by leading industry names including Grohe (Headline Sponsor), Aalberts IPS, CT1, Grundfos, Kingspan, Milwaukee, Stelrad, Viessmann, WD-40, Wolseley Plumb & Parts, Snickers, Talon, The Worshipful Company of Plumbers, Yorkshire Copper Tube, Fix Radio, and the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE).

Judged by Jerry Whiteley, Technical Manager at the CIPHE, the competition is a testament to the growing recognition and support for female professionals in the trade, the organisers say.
