Entering its fourth edition of the Local Hero Awards shine a light on the most thoughtful tradespeople who have put others first with their kindness and generosity.
2023’s winner, Chris Griffiths, from Neston on the Wirral, received a nomination for offering half-price work for OAPs and for offering free some small jobs to help people in his local area. Chris even donated his cash prize to fund good work in his local community – proving himself to be a worthy local hero.
One national winner will be awarded a £1,000 cash prize, while up to five regional winners will each take home cash prizes worth £250.
Discussing the awards Neil Sansom, CEO at SGS Engineering said: “Previous years of the awards have shone a light on some of the wonderful tradespeople across the UK who are going above and beyond for their customers and the public.
“We heard about so many acts of kindness by others. Graham Nash of Pinnacle Builders in Leeds was voted the winner in 2021 for his work repairing the damage done by cowboy builders, and James Anderson of D.E.P.H.E.R. in Burnley won in 2022 for offering community plumbing work for vulnerable and elderly individuals.
“We believe that these selfless people and their acts of kindness should be celebrated, and that’s why we’re excited to launch the fourth edition of the ‘Local Hero Awards’.
“If you know of a worthy tradesperson who has gone above and beyond to make the world a better place then let us know – a £1,000 cash prize could be the perfect way to thank them for their kindness.”
