Jamie Webber from Bridlington has reached the semi-final of the national search to find Screwfix’s Top Tradesperson 2022

Jamie is one step closer to being crowned the champion of the trade after reaching the semi-finals of Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2022.

Jamie has been in the trade for 6 years and co-owns Smart Ohm. They have secured a place in the semi-final following an initial application which highlighted their passion for the trade, dedication, and commitment to going above and beyond for their customers and colleagues.

Jamie set up Smart Ohm with business partner Glyn in 2021, establishing it as a full-time venture earlier this year. Focused on sustainability, Jamie is passionate about helping customers to find electrical solutions that not only are better for the environment, but also reduce energy bills. Jamie is also committed to reducing waste, often choosing to retrofit products where possible rather than completely replacing them. They also work with businesses to reduce their carbon footprint, by modifying and upgrading electrical aspects, such as lighting, to help reduce costs and save energy.

The 13th national final will be held at Screwfix LIVE in September, where one winner will receive the ultimate trade bundle of tech, tools, and training worth £20,000

Jamie comments:

“I’m really pleased to get through to the semi-finals of Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2022, particularly knowing how many incredible tradespeople I would have been up against. It’s a real boost to our sustainable ethos, particularly as a relatively new business.

“I aim to impress the judges with my skills, expertise, and my passion for the trade. I love helping customers find simple and effective ways to do their bit for the planet and save themselves money with sustainable electrical solutions. To reach the national final in September would be a dream come true and I’d love the opportunity to champion the construction industry on behalf of my peers.”

Together with 35 other top tradespeople from across the UK and Republic of Ireland, Jamie will now battle it out to be shortlisted as a top 10 finalist. The shortlisted candidates will participate in a one-day final event at Screwfix LIVE in Farnborough on 23rd September 2022.

The overall winner will be crowned Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2022 and take home the ultimate £20,000 prize bundle comprising tech, tools, and training.  

Jack Wallace, Marketing Director at Screwfix, said:

“As a champion of the trade, we know that there are many exceptional tradespeople out there who are going the extra mile for their customers, producing work to an incredibly high standard and ultimately being fantastic role models for the next generation of tradespeople. Tradespeople are vital to our economy and invaluable to the communities they serve, so it’s hugely important that we recognise their achievements through this national award.

“I’d like to congratulate all our semi-finalists on getting this far. I wish them all the best of luck and look forward to meeting our national finalists in September!”
