The Importance of Trade Apprenticeships
CT1’s ‘TRIBRID®’ technology provides unique adhesion on virtually any material in most applications without the need for additional fixings. It supports Britain’s trades people nationwide in every sector of the industry including roofing contractors, joiners, window suppliers, kitchen fitters, bathroom installers, as well as specialist fit out and building companies. The construction industry is the driving force of our country and trades people are the central core of CT1’s success. That’s why CT1 is delighted to partner and support Wickes’ Apprenticeship Programme to train and upskill the next generation of skilled trade professionals.
The disruption the pandemic has caused to so many industries, including the construction and maintenance sectors.

Participant Testimonial of CT1 Training
Apprentices can also bring a fresh approach to their workplaces. Their willingness to learn can bring different ideas and fresh insights gained from their new knowledge of the best products and how to use them. Wickes apprentice, Jack, commented on CT1's training:
“The CT1 training was fantastic, it was full of practical content with visual demonstrations of how the sealant and adhesive should be applied. The trainer was very interactive and explained the products and their uses very clearly, in a way that was easy to understand.
As an apprentice it's good to get an insight into great products like. It also gives me the confidence to use the product myself and know the reasons why it is so good.”
