Supporting fresh talent

This is the 17th year we’ve been the principal sponsor of the Registered Master Builders’ Apprentice of the Year competition. This event is all about celebrating up-and-comers and recognising great employers – both critical elements to a bright and successful future for our industry.

Thomas O'Brien has come out on top as our RMB Apprentice of the Year

In the decider challenge, nine Apprentices from across the country had to build a mud kitchen to a high standard. This included a water play wall comprised of various spouting elements supplied by Marley. The mud kitchens have donated to early learning centres around Auckland.

Check out some of the competition shots below:

Thinking of applying in 2021? Entries will be open from 1 April 2021.
