WITHDRAWALS
I have had to withdraw from the competition as of now(reason listed below) I wish the other 11 finalists the best of luck.
Regards Mark Carter.

I have been in the trade for over 20 years and have always believed that you can not fix something if you do not know how it works,with that in mind I have attended a lot of training courses over the years to keep my knowledge up to date.Most of the training has in delivered by Bosch(I now run a BCS)
With that in mind Bosch Denham and I entered into a conversation late last year with regard to me becoming a part time regional trainer for them, I excepted their offer in January this year and have been undertaking some "trainer training" since then(things like: time management,delivery techniques and other skills that make a good trainer)I have been on three "live" training sessions to assist the skilled trainer and learn how it is done.

One of the trainees at the last course has made a formal complaint to crystal communications(the company that runs TOP TECH) about the fact that I am in the final group for this competition and work for Bosch(all be-it part time)
Crystal then phoned Bosch, and Bosch have asked me to step down to avoid any possible misunderstandings or the possibility of brining Bosch or the competition into any form of disrepute.
I have agreed to do this,but would like to point out that the knowledge that I have, has been gained over the last 20 years, and not given to me in a box on my first day as a trainee trainer for Bosch.
