“SkillFridge is a fantastic initiative that incentivises and rewards aspiring apprentices and trainees – the industry’s standard bearers and potential leaders of tomorrow – in pursuit of excellence,” said David Dunn, director and general manager of Toshiba Air Conditioning and CIAT Ozonair. “We are delighted to be involved and will be giving the events across this year and next our wholehearted support.
