Cambridge electrician Toby Peacock, pictured, is the reigning champion after winning Top Tradesperson in 2022. He said: “This award has transformed my career. I have driven my business forward and the prize has meant I have been able to invest in new equipment and training opportunities. My application also shone a light on mental health in the industry, which I had personally experienced in my own career. Since winning the competition I have launched my own podcast ‘Tearoom Talks Podcast’, which focuses on how we can improve mental health in the trade.”
