This is the seventh year Dickies has run the national competition, with carer and homicide case worker Katie Washbourne from Birmingham coming out on top last year. This year, the Somerset-based workwear company has announced that the 2016 winners’ prize will come from associate sponsor Honda and be a choice of a Jazz car, Crosstourer motorbike or Rib boat with trailer. Dickies will also offer the choice of a luxury holiday worth £5000.
