Following the success of plasterers in 2018 and mechanics in 2019, skin care experts Swarfega are once again on the hunt for the toughest trade out there. After a hard-fought battle, the 2019 title was handed to mechanic Peter Derbyshire who proved his credentials with a photo showing him battling a claustrophobic space at great heights. This winning entry was closely followed by a number of other gritty entries and this year Swarfega will be on the hunt again, to find out if mechanics can defend their title or if they’ll be defeated by a competing trade.

There’s no doubt about it, people working in the trades take on some of the toughest tasks around, as we saw at the start of this year. Whether you are a roofer shifting tons of materials high in the sky come rain or shine or a brickie making sure that solid foundations are built upon, builders definitely work in some of the harshest conditions. Builders only just made the top 5 last year, so make sure you show Swarfega that builders mean business in 2020!

Across February Swarfega will be challenging you to post a picture of you or a colleague battling your toughest task on their Facebook or Twitter page with the hashtag #ToughestTrade and a short reason why your trade should win 2020’s accolade.

Throughout February, using their Tough-O-Meter, Swarfega will judge each picture and choose the one showing the toughest task. The top 5 will be narrowed down and the winner will then be put to a social media vote. The crowning tradesperson will receive £200 in Amazon vouchers and the trade that the winner represents will be crowned Swarfega’s New Toughest Trade for 2020. The runners-up in places 2-5 will also receive a £50 Amazon voucher.

The first 10 people to post their toughest task picture will receive a pack of TOUGH by Swarfega Gift Packs so get moving quick and post your images on the social media channels below:

Can mechanics be beaten? Time will tell!
