Show you go the extra mile, says Screwfix

Screwfix is urging heating engineers and plumbers across the UK and Northern Ireland to put down their pipe cutters and turn their attention to Britain’s Top Tradesman (BTT) competition.

The annual contest aims to find and recognise tradesmen who keep the UK’s homes and businesses in top condition, and there’s a £28,000 Toyota van up for grabs.

Last year, Tom Ball, a joiner from Cheshire, walked away with the crown after fighting off competition from thousands of entrants.

Screwfix marketing director John Mewett said: “The standard of entries is always really high and we are looking forward to meeting and rewarding those tradesmen who go that extra mile. This year’s winner will receive a Toyota van and the title of Britain’s Top Tradesman 2014, so it’s well worth taking the time to fill out the easy application form.”

Entries to BTT are open until 14 September 2014, with regional finalists going head to head in October. The national final will be in November, with the overall winner named Britain’s Top Tradesman 2014.

To enter you can go into any Screwfix or Plumbfix store, or go to screwfix.com/btt.  There’s more info on Screwfix’s Facebook page.
