Builder from Chelmsford reaches final of national trade award
Oliver Turner, an expert builder from Chelmsford, is one step away from being crowned Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2022, after reaching the final, along with nine skilled trade professionals.
Oliver (36), who has 16 years of experience in the sector, has been chosen to face a panel of industry experts at the national final at Screwfix LIVE (23rd September) thanks to his expertise, drive, and determination to go above and beyond for his customers.
The panel includes representatives from the Federation of Master Builders, the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering, the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting, and Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2021 winner, Dan Lloyd.
He will have the chance to highlight his skills and dedication to the future of the trade, with the goal of joining Screwfix Top Tradesperson Hall of Fame. One individual will be crowned the champion of the trade and receive a career-boosting £20,000 prize package made up of tech, tools, and training.
Oliver, from Trew Turner, said: “The award is almost in touching distance now and being one step closer to the final is exciting, and a bit nerve-wracking! My brother, who co-owns Trew Turner with me, can’t believe I’ve made it this far.
“I previously served for 7 years in the army, so I really value honesty and integrity which I try to translate through to my love of the construction industry.
“Winning the award would allow me to further expand my skillset, employ more people and take the family business to the next level – it would be a life changer.”
Jack Wallace, Screwfix marketing director, said: “Our annual award looks to reward the best tradespeople across the UK and Ireland. In telling their stories, we want to shine a light on the trade and the skilled work carried out by professionals, day in, day out. Through this award we also hope to inspire others to start a career in the trade and to champion the industry. Good luck to our top 10!”
