Screwfix Launches Search For Britain’s Top Tradesperson

Screwfix is continuing its search for the nation’s top tradespeople with the return of the annual Britain’s Top Tradesperson 2017 competition. Previous winners have included plumbers, bricklayers and electricians, but what trade will take home this year’s title?

Beginning on 8 May 2017, tradespeople from across the nation are invited to apply and represent the building industry in this national competition.

As the leading trade omni-channel retailer with over 500 stores across the UK, Screwfix continues the search for the best tradesperson providing the best home and business services throughout the nation.

Britain’s Top Tradesperson 2017 winner will walk away with the coveted title and the keys to a brand new Toyota PROACE or Hilux vehicle worth £32,000 (OTR). All builders are invited to enter for the chance of winning this highly competitive, best-in-class competition.

Last year, Richie Maxwell, a third-generation bricklayer from Tillicoultry, Scotland, walked away with the title after successfully beating over six thousand entrants.  He wowed judges with his determination to use his trade skills and high-quality workmanship.

As the first bricklayer to win the competition, he didn’t think he had a chance against other tradesmen. With bricklaying in his blood, his honesty, integrity and successful business structure stood out from other finalists in the fierce finale. He was able to take home the coveted title resulting in new customers and a packed diary for months ahead.

Richie adds: “Winning this competition has completely transformed my business and brought in more opportunities. There is nothing like Britain’s Top Tradesperson out there so it is nice to get some well-deserved recognition and give my business the seal of approval it deserves. I would definitely encourage other tradespeople to enter, there’s nothing to lose and a lot to gain!”

The Britain’s Top Tradesperson Award is given to those tradespeople who can prove they excel in their trade. Whether you’ve just started your own company, taken a course to upgrade your skill-set or have an engaging social media presence then you should apply.

If you have completed a complex job for someone, or have run your business with customers in mind than this competition is for you. No matter the reason, you have until 4 June 2017 to apply for your chance to win.

Entries are accepted until 4 June 2017, with regional finalists selected and facing off later that month. In July the finalists will compete at the national finale, with the overall winner being named Britain’s Top Tradesperson 2017.

To enter you can go into any Screwfix store or go to screwfix.com/btt where you can also find further details of the competition.
