Search on for handiest men

Screwfix, which has a store on Vicarage Lane, Marton, has launched its annual contest to find and recognise the brilliant builders, exceptional electricians, helpful handymen and perfect plumbers who keep local people’s homes and businesses in top condition.

Not only will this year’s winner carry the title of Britain’s Top Tradesman 2014 – which could help transform their business, they will also win the keys to a brand new £28,000 Toyota van, with all the gadgets they need.

Entries for the competition will close on Sunday, with regional finalists going head-to-head in October. The national final will be held in November.

To enter, tradesmen should visit the Screwfix store in Blackpool, or go to screwfix.com/btt. Search for Screwfix on Facebook for more information about the 2014 competition.
