Both David and Martin own building companies and are staunch advocates for apprentices in the industry. They believe that apprentices are the future of the industry, as long as you educate them and work with them and then they'll reward you. That's where the industry is going, and we need them.

David and Martin also share some practical advice for the participants based on their experience. They talk about pacing yourself throughout the tasks, paying attention to the instructions and, most importantly, having fun!
