The winners of the BCF Awards 2021 were announced at the Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel. Almost 300 delegates were in attendance to watch 12 winners announced across 11 categories. The Manchester-based paint manufacturer was a finalist for the Coatings Care Award, with two HMG employees as finalists in the Apprentice of the Year category. Josh Taylor and Nathan Eckersley were among the first in the country to complete the new Industrial Coating Applicator Apprenticeship earlier this year, and their industry counterparts recognized their achievement.
