Sleaford Floorer Reaches UK Worker of the Year 2016 Final

Sleaford flooring specialist, Kevin Skeith, has been selected as one of the six finalists for this year’s UK Worker of the Year competition.

Being self-employed, Kevin is a one-stop flooring shop. Not only does he source, order and fit all the flooring used, he also provides all quotes and estimates, devises marketing and advertising plans and maintains the tools that are crucial to his job.

The competition is the concept of Dickies, the world renowned workwear brand and with fellow sponsors Honda Uk and ASDA, aims to recognise hard work and commitment across all industry sectors.

Judging day is on 14th October at the Mercure Dartford Brands Hatch Hotel, when the panel of judges will quiz Kevin on a variety of topics, as he bids to become the seventh UK Worker of the Year.

An ecstatic Kevin said: “I am delighted to have made the final six and really didn’t expect to get this far. I feel honoured to be a finalist and am looking forward to the time at Brands Hatch, and meeting and supporting the other finalists.”

Competition organiser, Gary Barak said: “Year on year the standard of entries has improved and this year has been no exception. Kevin and the other finalists have been selected on merit from amongst the thousands of entries received, a selection process that in itself was no mean feat, and we look forward to the judging stage and Awards evening.”

Should Kevin be the winner of UK Worker of the Year 2016, he will have the opportunity to choose a luxury holiday, or from a choice of several Honda vehicles, including a Jazz car, motorbike, rib boat, as well as a years shopping from ASDA.

He will also have the chance to win a potentially life changing £250,000 should he correctly predict the outcome of the top six rider positions in the weekend MCE British Superbike race.

The finalists represent a wide range of professions, from across the country: Paul Harris, an electronics engineer from County Durham; Guy Hodgson, a builder from the West Midlands; Samantha Lea, a firefighter from Nottingham; Charlotte Morton, a beef farmer from South Yorkshire; and Christine Vaghela, an electrician from Elstree in Hertfordshire.
