UK Worker of the Year 2015, organised by workwear brand Dickies, has opened for entries. Orginally scheduled to launch at Donington Park over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend in April, the competition has opened its website early, allowing hard workers in the UK to stake their claim for this year’s title before the launch at the race track.

This is the sixth year Dickies has run the national competition, with heating and plumbing engineer Chris Teale from Barnet coming out on top last year. As Dickies is the associate sponsor for the new Be Wiser Kawasaki team this year, the Somerset-based workwear company has announced that the winners’ prize will be a Kawasaki.

The winner will receive the luxurious choice between a Kawasaki Ninja 300 and a dream holiday of their choice at the value of £5,000. The runner up in the competition will again receive holiday vouchers up to £2,000, with third place taking home £1,000 in vouchers. The champ will also have the chance of winning £100,000.00 in cash, should they predict the top six of the final race at Brands Hatch at the MCE British Superbike Championship finale in October.

The prize bike, which was showcased on the Kawasaki stand at the MCN London Motorcycle show over the weekend, will be a unique style, covered in a Dickies and UK Worker of the Year livery.

Maurice Morton, sales and marketing director at Dickies, said: “We are delighted to have opened up this year’s competition a little earlier than usual. The bike received outstanding attention at the MCN show and we think having a bike and a dream holiday will make for a fantastic sixth year for the UK Worker of the Year competition.”
