Ashley Waines from Bridlington is through to the semi-final stage of the search for the UK and Ireland’s Top Tradesperson.
Ashley will now battle it out against over 40 other semi-finalists. The overall winner will take home £20,000 prize bundle of tools, tech, and training.
Ashley Waines, an electrician from Bridlington, has beaten stiff competition to secure a semi-final place in Screwfix’s search for the UK’s Top Tradesperson, which is now in its 16th year.
Ashley, 38, who runs A R Waines Electricians, has worked as an electrician for 23 years. Professionalism and dedication are what set Ashley apart from the hundreds of entries from tradespeople across the UK.
Ashley get the most job satisfaction from helping families cut their energy bills with the help of renewable technology, while bringing listed buildings back to life is another passion. With no two days alike, Ashley thrives on the variety of meeting new people, adapting to different challenges, and learning something new.
The semi-final stage will see Ashley compete against over 40 other tradespeople, presenting their skills and story to judges from Screwfix. The semi-finalists will then be whittled down to just ten before advancing to the national final at Screwfix Live in September.
And it’s at Screwfix Live, after being put through their paces by a panel of industry experts, that one winner will be crowned Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2025 and take home a £20,000 trade bundle of tools, tech, and training.
Ashley says:
“When I heard that I had been successful in getting to the semi-final stage of the Screwfix Top Tradesperson competition I was shocked. It’s an honour to compete against such talented individuals, and I’m excited to share my story with the judges. I’m passionate about the electrical trade and look forward to showcasing my skills.”
