There’s still time to enter this year’s Screwfix Top Tradesperson award. Now in its 14th year, the annual award celebrates the work of tradespeople – from electricians to plumbers, builders to painters, and carpenters to roofers – highlighting their professionalism, and dedication to promoting and supporting the future of the industry.
Applying is simple – tradespeople can put themselves forward, or can be nominated by employers, customers or friends, by filling out the online application form.
A selection of the best applicants will be shortlisted to take part in a semi-final interview in August, with the top 10 progressing through to the Screwfix Top Tradesperson final. The final will take place at Screwfix LIVE in Farnborough on Friday 22nd September, where a panel of industry experts will put the finalists through their paces before announcing the champion.
One winner will be crowned Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2023 and walk away with a prize bundle worth £20,000. The package will include everything a champion of the trade needs, including tech, tools, and training to take their already successful career to the next level.
Toby Peacock, an electrician from Cambridge (pictured) is the reigning champion after winning Screwfix Top Tradesperson in 2022. He said: “This award has transformed my career. I have driven my business forward and the prize has meant I have been able to invest in new equipment and training opportunities. My application also shone a light on mental health in the industry, which I had personally experienced in my own career. Since winning the competition I have launched my own podcast ‘Tearoom Talks Podcast’, which focuses on how we can improve mental health in the trade.
“The entire process of the competition was great, from meeting the other inspirational finalists through to the interviews where I got to display my passion for the trade.”
Tradespeople have until Sunday 16th July to submit their application at screwfix.com/stt
