DORSET plumbers, electricians, Screwfix's search for Britain's Top Tradesperson is back for its tenth year, and Dorset workers can enter to win the £20,000 prize.

This annual competition aims to celebrate the outstanding work and professionalism of UK tradespeople, resulting in one exceptional individual winning a bundle, comprising of £10,000 worth of tools, £5,000 tech and £5,000 to go towards future training.

Screwfix, which has local stores based in Dorchester and Weymouth, will shortlist the UK’s top tradespeople to take part in a semi-final, before picking the top ten finalists, who will travel to Screwfix Live at Farnborough to meet a panel of judges.

Caroline Welsh, Director of Brand and Marketing at Screwfix said: “As Screwfix celebrates the tenth anniversary of Britain’s Top Tradesperson, our goal is to find someone who is the embodiment of their trade. The search is on to crown someone who not only champions their trade, but also acts as an ambassador to help futureproof the industry and encourage future generations.

“Since we launched the competition in 2009, we have seen record levels of entrants year on year and we are excited to see what this year has to offer. We know from talking to our trade customers how much they enjoy taking part, and with such strong competition we will be looking for one high calibre individual.”
