An Ayrshire heating and plumbing engineer has been named as one of the finalists in the Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2025 competition. Darryl White, 31, from Ayr , has been chosen as one of the 10 finalists for the competition which bids to find the best tradesperson in the UK and Ireland. Later this month, Darryl will go up against nine other top tradespeople for the chance to claim a £20,000 prize bundle of tools, tech and training. Darryl has already wowed the judges in previous rounds with his “unwavering passion and an extraordinary commitment to going above and beyond”. Following lockdown, Darryl set up his own company – Darryl White Home Improvements – and has also set up a charity to support local community improvement projects. Darryl also provides work experience for those interested in taking up a trade and prides himself on creating good customer relationships and delivering quality work on every job. Reflecting on the journey so far, Darryl said: “I can’t believe I have secured a place in the final of Screwfix Top Tradesperson 2025. “Since I started in the trade many years ago, I’ve worked hard to hone my craft, so to be recognised and able to share my story with the judges is something I’m really excited about. “Looking at the names of the other finalists, it’s clear there’s some great competition, but I’m proud to be putting Ayr on the map and representing every heating and plumbing engineer out there in my bid to take home the title.” Jack Wallace, marketing director at Screwfix, added: “We now have our final 10, and as ever the standard is exceptional. “Tradespeople are the backbone of their communities, providing essential services with unmatched skill and dedication. “Screwfix Top Tradesperson shines a spotlight on the outstanding talent within the industry and the impact tradespeople have. “I wish all the finalists the best of luck as they compete for this year’s title.” The final takes place at Screwfix Live in September in front of a panel of industry experts, including reigning Screwfix Top Tradesperson Mohammed Rahman, and representatives from CIPHE and NICEIC.
