Rewards for young professionals T
he winners of the annual Construction Development Alliance (CDA) Awards were revealed recently at Burnley
and construction industry in the North West, the awards, sponsored by Sika Sarnafil, recognise the hard work, determination and growth of young people in the sector. Bobby Bolton, 23 year old construction
manager at LendLease, was crowned Young Construction Professional and Overall Winner at the awards. Sika Roofing, single ply roofing manufacturer,
has continued its support of the event this year and is looking to help drive the development of future construction workers. Rod Benson, Sika Roofing said: “Our
involvement ensures that the CDA can continue to maximise the potential of young professionals in a sector that is suffering a major skills shortfall. Encouraging people into the industry through
offering apprenticeships will help to close the gap and ease the pressure on the existing workforce.” A recent report from the Construction Industry
Training Board (CITB) predicts that thousands of new roles will be required to meet demand in the next five years. “The lack of construction apprentices is
something we are actively lobbying in Westminster in conjunction with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC),” added Rod Benson. “The awards are another positive way of tackling this issue.” The remaining category winners are as follows:
Pearl Cavaney, Young Designer (Burnley College); Lucy Anderson - Young Construction Environmentalist (Sheffield Hallam University); Franchesca Hurn - Young Construction Apprentice (M's Touch Female decorators) and James Eastham - Overcoming Adversity (Eric Wright Construction) Reid Lewis, speaking on behalf of the CDA
North Manchester region, said: “It’s so important that we celebrate the exceptional young talent

The Tile Association and its members are promoting the hygiene advantages of correctly installed tiled surfaces, especially in commercial kitchens and food preparation environments. Tiled surfaces are entirely safe to install and use in hygiene-sensitive installations, particularly if large format
porcelain tiles are used with epoxy grouts. Tiled surfaces can safely be cleaned at temperatures in excess of 60°C, since tiles are fired to temperatures far above that during the manufacturing process. This means that tiles are a good solution in an environment where boiling liquids might get spilt on them.
