LE-TEC have extended the deadline for entries for their annual Land-based Technician Of The Year competition.

Last year's winner, Laura Bassnet

Applicants now have until May 31st 2022 to submit their videos.

This year they have two categories to enter, one for someone who is just embarking on their career and one for someone who has a successful career and seen their vocation develop. A host of prizes are on offer for the winners.

To enter, candidates must record a short video telling the organisers:

• who you are and what you do,
• how you got into this industry,
• what makes it so rewarding,
• and why others should consider it as a career.

LE-TEC say it doesn't matter if it’s a selfie-style video, or a blockbuster production, its the story they want to hear and it's that which could win you the prize.

Videos should be sumbitted to info@letec.co.uk.

For inspiration, watch Laura Bassnet and Lauren Savage from 2021 or Will Twigg and Matthew Branson from 2020.

Some more prizes for 2022 have also been announced by Le-Tec, including:

• City & Guilds certified Refrigerant Handling Course and City & Guilds Air Conditioning Course, for two winners, funded by AP Air Europe. This will include meals and accommodation.
• A Makita Radio donated by Makita UK
• A 70pc Siegen Tool Kit by Sealey, donated by Kubota UK.
