Screwfix’s annual search for the nation’s most talented tradespeople is again underway. Now in its 16th year, Screwfix Top Tradesperson aims to uncover the brilliant trade talent across the UK and Ireland and celebrate their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to the industry. London-based plumber Mohammed Rahman claimed the title in 2024, receiving a fantastic prize bundle of tech, tools, and training worth £20,000. Since being crowned, his business has gone from strength to strength, thanks to the publicity and profile he has enjoyed. Reflecting on the positive impact the award has had on his career, reigning champion Mohammed says: “Winning Screwfix Top Tradesperson was a significant milestone for me. I’ve always thought self-belief is so important when it comes to having a rewarding career, and it took a bit of courage to nominate myself and fill in the application, but it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. “It has been great to get involved with media interviews and even having the opportunity to speak about supporting trade apprentices at Parliament. I would encourage anyone considering entering to go for it – it allows you to discuss why you are passionate about your trade. If you get shortlisted, the benefits of business building are great.” Entries for Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2025 are now open and will close on Sunday, 13 July. Tradespeople from the UK and Ireland can submit their entries or be nominated by employers, customers, or friends by filling out the online application form at screwfix.com/stt or Screwfix.ie/stt. The standout applicants will be shortlisted to the semi-final stage and invited to an interview in August. From there, just 10 will head to the final at Screwfix Live in Farnborough on Friday 26th September, where they will go head-to-head in front of a panel of industry experts. They’ll also walk away with a trade bundle worth £20,000/€20,000, made up of tech, tools, and training to boost their business.
