Construction’s Future Leaders Battle It Out for Top Spot!

The tools will be out this Friday as New Zealand’s top ten carpentry apprentices battle it out to become the Registered Master Builders CARTERS 2017 Apprentice of the Year.

The judges will be watching as the regional finalists’ skills are put to the test during the six-hour practical challenge. Media, family and friends are urged to come along and show their support for the apprentices at The ASB Showgrounds between 8am and 1pm this Friday 3 November.
