A WIRRAL man has been shortlisted for the prestigious UK Plumber of the Year 2019 title.

Paul Clark, 49, has been selected as one of the ten plumbers to go into the next stage of the competition after entries went to a board of judges from Watersafe.

Now it is up to the public to vote for who they want to see take the title.

Paul, who works for Concept Plumbing and Heating, said: "I make it my mission to push the boundaries of the industry even though I work on my own, so it really is an honour to have been shortlisted to the final 10.”

The competition is designed to reward and recognise the remarkable talents within the UK’s plumbing industry and ask entrants to demonstrate their plumbing, service and business skills.

Five plumbers who receive the most votes will then be invited to an interview session with the judging panel, made up of experts from JT, Bristan, Wolseley and Watersafe, who will then decide the winner.

John Schofield, sales and marketing director of JT, added: “Congratulations to Paul. We were particularly impressed with his high quality of work for which he receives a lot of positive feedback. We wish him the best of luck in the competition.”

The UK Plumber of the Year 2019 will win £15,000 worth of prizes, including JT, Bristan and Wolseley products/vouchers plus products from Proper Job Beer Rothenberger, BigWipes, Vendigo Finance, Fortress Distribution and Chapter 8.
