Walking away with a cash prize of £5,000, both Paul and Karl proved that they were indeed masters of their craft. Being recognised by their peers as the best of the best as far as the chosen finalists go obviously meant a lot to the boys from Yes Glazing as when they were announced as the competition winners, following some jubilant hugs, tears of joy were evident as they took to the stage to collect their award and cheque. Runners-up were Steve Price and Terry Griffin of Conwy Windows who took home a cheque for £3,000 while last year’s winner, Arron Clegg of Eco-Sash, along FIT Show MD Paul Godwin and FENSA Chairman Mark Warren present Paul Casbolt and Karl Kinsey with their Master Fitter Challenge winners award and cheque. with his father Andy placed third taking away £2,000 for their efforts. After performing a series of live installation tasks throughout the first two days of the FIT Show at the International Centre in Telford alongside eight other finalists, event assessors GQA Qualifications, deemed Paul and Karl should be crowned ‘Master Fitter’ for 2014. Besides splitting the winnings, Paul and Karl will now also be able to sport the Master Fitter Challenge Winner logo on everything they and Yes Glazing Solutions use, including van sides, in the company showroom and on all company literature. Congratulations to them and to all of the finalists. Thanks for Visiting us at the Fit Show 2014 Business Micros Redeem Themselves At FIT Show 2014 Football Tournament While the question was shirts or skins when four football teams from the industry gathered at Telford United’s New Bucks Head stadium for the FIT Show football tournament, public decency won as everyone chose shirts. Four teams, two playing with a man short, came together on June 9th - the night before the FIT Show - to entertain the watch- ing public at Telford’s Goalzone centre with six keenly contested and often tasty games. Business Micros, remembering their thrashing at the hands of GQAs Rest of the World team in 2013, were eventually proclaimed the winners. Jim Cronie (Business Micros) and Simon Smith (GQA PM Training) were nominated as top goalkeepers. With GQA, GT Windows, Vita Cellular Foams, Business Micros and Haffner all fielding players, thanks also needs to be given to the timekeepers who did exactly that without stepping onto the hallowed 3G turf. With one eye on April 2016 for the next FIT football tournament, keep your other eye on this space as Mick, Carl and Will discuss the potential for a FIT Show friendly in 2015.
