Our special guest this week is Paddy McNicholas, the owner of MN Floor Training in the United Kingdom. Paddy's journey in the flooring industry has been filled with success, as he competed at a high level, creating intricate designs with LVT flooring. However, he made a decision to shift his focus from being the best in the industry to passing on his skills and knowledge to others. In this episode, we delve into the story behind the establishment of MN Floor Training, the significance of training for the future of the trade, and the importance of looking at the long-term value of training rather than just its immediate cost. Join us as we discuss Paddy's perspective on the value of education and training in the flooring industry.
