The initiative is part of Talon’s ongoing commitment to support and invest in the future of the trades and will take place on Talon’s social media channels.
Talon is also a sponsor of HIP Female Skills 2024, which has three regional heats over February and March, each with 12 learners battling it out with a practical test. A winner and runner-up will be chosen from each heat to attend the Grand Final on 18th April.
The Talon competition allows all apprentices to win a Starter Toolkit, gifted by Velocity, featuring high-quality tools essential for any budding tradesperson.
“This campaign aligns with Talon’s broader efforts to support apprenticeships, including sponsoring the prestigious HIP! Learner of the Year award and supplying them the thousands of pipe clips they need to competition organisers,” explains Mike Morris, marketing manager for Talon.

The toolkit includes a Velocity Rogue 4.5 Camo Backpack, Parts Bag, Velocity knife, Velocity tape measure, KNIPEX Cobra pliers, Stabila Pocket Pro Level, Vessel Screwdrivers and a Marxman Pica Pen.
