KNIPEX marks National Apprentice Week with competitions, events and exclusive discount packages

This National Apprenticeship Week (6th to 12th February 2023) pliersโ€™ specialists KNIPEX has put together exclusive discount packages, competitions and events for electrical apprentices. Consulting closely with well-known electrician and social media content creator Nick Bundy (www.youtube.com/@NBundyElectrical), and in collaboration with Northern Ireland tool retailer Tool Monster, 10 essential KNIPEX tools have been hand-selected to help kickstart the careers of any apprentice electrician as they prepare to enter the wider world of work. These 10 tools will be available at a discounted rate for apprentices during February 2023. They will be available individually or in the hand selected kit which also includes Velocity Pro Gear and Wera screwdrivers.

โ€œThis year we have reached out to Nick Bundy to find out exactly what tools apprentices will need as they embark on their exciting careers,โ€ says David Barnes, KNIPEX UKโ€™s Marketing Manager.

โ€œWe want to make these tools as affordable and accessible to apprentices as possible so we have implemented a separate pricing structure for students, and we will be also giving them info, tips and tricks on how to use them through demonstrations at colleges.โ€

To reach apprentices face to face during National Apprentice Week, Nick Bundy and Peter Booth (www.youtube.com/@PBPlumber) are undertaking a tour of five colleges in Northern Ireland in association with Tool Monster where they will be demonstrating KNIPEX tools to students. A range of discounted tools will also be on offer to lecturers and the colleges themselves.

โ€œAs well as college tours, apprentices across the UK should also check out our social channels as there will be competitions and giveaways aimed directly at them โ€“ itโ€™s a great chance to bag a KNIPEX prize,โ€ continues David.
