Louth electrician Ryan in with a chance of winning €20,000 prize fund
Ryan has run his own company for five years. He has always loved the problem-solving side of being an electrician. With no two days the same, he finds satisfaction in making things work safely and efficiently - whether it's wiring a new build, fault-finding during a renovation or upgrading a home's system to meet modern standards.
He also values the team dynamic on-site and getting to work closely with other tradespeople like plumbers, carpenters, and decorators. For him, the sense of teamwork and shared pride is one of the best parts of the job.
The semi-final stage will see Ryan compete against over 40 other top tradespeople, presenting their skills and story to judges from Screwfix. The semi-finalists will 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, one winner will be crowned Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2025 and take home a €20,000 trade bundle of tools, tech, and training.
Ryan 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. Receiving that sort of validation for all my hard work and dedication to date is a real privilege. 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 being an electrician and look forward to showcasing my skills.'
A chance to join the Hall of Fame
This year's successful winner will join the likes of the current top tradesperson, plumber Mohammed Rahman, and 2023 winner Astrid Arnold in the growing Screwfix Hall of Fame.
Jack Wallace, Marketing Director at Screwfix, added: ' Now in its 16th year, our search for the UK and Ireland's Top Tradesperson continues to highlight the exceptional talent within the trade industry. This year's entries have been truly inspiring, and I wish all semi-finalists the best of luck as they compete for this year's title.'
