In the spirit of camaraderie within the HVAC industry on Twitter, Drew Styles Plumbing and Heating and Installers First have launched the #VanPoolKaraoke competition, with the best performance winning a Bosch radio.
Commenting on what inspired this initiative, Drew Styles says: “I wanted to keep the good vibes going after the success of #HeroesOfHeat, after briefly losing the centre of the Twitter community that was GMG. I think everyone needs a little lighthearted fun to just make you smile and forget all the rubbish. Let’s make Twitter and the wider community great again.”
Laurah Hutchinson-Strain, Head of Media for Installers First, adds:
“Behind all of the banter and high jinks lies a community that takes pride in its work, driving up standards and improving safety. Members of the gas and heating installer community offer an invaluable resource to each other, constantly sharing ideas and best practice. It’s really quite something to witness.
“So why are we launching #VanPoolKaraoke? Well, we know that these initiatives motivate the community. They also offer an opportunity for installers to network with each other. Oh, and Drew Styles needs to get rid of the radio. It’s that simple.”
To enter, all installers need to do is choose a song and belt it out on video. Upload it to Twitter using #VanPoolKaraoke and tag @stylesplumbing and @installersfirst.
Entries close at midnight on 31 July and will be judged by an independent panel. One grumpy judge, one comedy judge and two well turned out judges. Which one is which, you decide.
The top four entries will then go to a semi-final public poll on 7th August, with the winner announced on 14th August.
