Swarfega has begun its annual hunt for the UK’s toughest trade. After five highly charged contests will farmers plough through the competition for the third time, or will another trade can knock them off the podium.
Mechanics took the crown in 2019, followed by farmers in 2020, fishermen in 2021, and farmers once again in 2022, with Eleanor Gilbert championing a hard-fought battle on social media against entries from tree surgeons to engineers.
Since the competition’s launch in 2018, tradespeople across the country have been sending in pictures of their toughest tasks in the hope of being honoured as Swarfega’s Toughest Trade.
It goes without saying that mechanics face some of the toughest tasks going, especially when working with vehicles that have been everywhere but the wash bay. Mechanics were the crowning champions in 2019 but didn’t make the cut the last few years, so be sure to shout about your trade and send in a picture to Swarfega showing why being a mechanic is as tough as it gets.
Launched on 30 January 2023, the competition will run until March 2023. Swarfega will be challenging tradespeople to post a picture of themselves or a colleague battling their toughest task on the Swarfega Facebook or Twitter page. The hashtag #ToughestTrade and a short reason why they think their trade should top the competition in 2023 should also be included.
To ensure each trade has a fair fight, the Swarfega team will choose the top four entries and will then put it to a public vote on social media to find the winner. The winner will receive £200 in Amazon vouchers and the trade that the winner represents will be crowned Swarfega’s New Toughest Trade for 2023. The runners-up in places two to four will also receive a £50 Amazon voucher.
