Screwfix looks for top worker!

TRADESMEN and women across Yeovil - the time has come once again to down tools and enter this year’s search for Britain’s top worker.

Screwfix, which has stores in Yeovil, is launching its annual competition to find the best in the DIY field where the winner receives a brand new Toyota Proace van, worth up to £27,000, and also be awarded the title of the nation’s No1 tradesperson, an accolade that can really boost a business.

Last year, Michael Cairns, a plumber from Edinburgh, walked away with the crown after fighting off stiff competition from over 3,000 entrants. He says it has taken his company, Celsius Plumbing, to another level.

Michael added: “It has been an incredible year. From the moment I first appeared in the newspapers, my business workload increased tenfold. We picked up so many new customers who have remained loyal to us ever since.

“Most people don't know who to call when looking for a reputable tradesman, this endorsement is giving them the confidence to pick up the phone and call me. I would recommend every tradesman and woman enters this year’s Britain’s top Tradesman – it really can change your life!”

The Britain’s Top Tradesman Award is given to those who can prove they excel in their business, and only rewards the best of the best.

Maybe you’ve just started your own company and are proving a hit with customers, or perhaps you have taken a course to upgrade your skills-set. You may have completed a fantastic or complex job for someone, or you run your business with customers in mind, by offering transparent pricing, free quotes or on a no-fix no-fee basis.

No matter the reason, you have until October 6 to put your case forward and enter the competition.

A Toyota Proace prize van will be on display at Screwfix Live, September 13-15, at Farnborough Five. Entries to BTT are open until October 6, 2013, with regional finalists going head to head.

The national final will be in November, with the overall winner being named Britain’s Top Tradesman 2013.

To enter you can go into the Screwfix stores in Yeovil, or go to www.screwfix.com/btt, where you can also watch a film of Michael giving top tips on how to get through to the final.
