The Race is on to find the UK's number one worker

A brand new initiative called Dickies UK Worker of the Year is being launched today - Thursday 29th April. The competition aims to find the person who truly epitomises the spirit of the UK worker.

There is much to tell you about; not least the winner’s prize package worth over £25,000 and an overall prize fund totalling more than £40,000.

Please join us for the media launch via a webcast this morning (29th April) from 11.30am. All you need to do is log on by going to www.swat.tv/dickies after 11.30am today when it goes live. It will be available to watch on a regular basis later on, by viewing it at the webcast address, YouTube and the new official Dickies UK Worker Of The Year website www.ukworkeroftheyear.com

Press and other media information will be sent to you over the next few weeks for what should be a truly exciting opportunity for all workers throughout the UK.
