Screwfix is once again on the search for the UK and Ireland’s most talented tradespeople after it officially opened entries for Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2026.
Designed to celebrate the dedication, professionalism and commitment displayed by tradespeople every day, the annual competition shines a light on the exceptional people working in the trades.
This year’s Screwfix Top Tradesperson will walk away with a trade bundle worth £20,000/€20,000, made up of tech, tools, and training to help take their business to the next level.
Follow in the footsteps of last year's winner
Martin Daly, a Motherwell-based builder, was the pride of Scotland when he claimed the coveted title in 2025, becoming the latest inductee into the Screwfix Top Tradesperson Hall of Fame. Since winning, Martin’s business, MD Builders Ltd, has continued to thrive thanks to the publicity he has enjoyed over the past 12 months.
Martin comments: “Entering Screwfix Top Tradesperson was one of the best decisions I ever made. The application process was simple and gave me the chance to share my personal journey in the trade.
“The exposure I got from winning has helped raise the profile of my business, and I have been lucky enough to visit both the Scottish Parliament and the Houses of Parliament in London, to talk about the importance of supporting the industry with more public funding.
“I would encourage anyone thinking about entering to just take the first step, fill in the online application form, and you never know where it could lead!”
Entering is easy
