Ford launches search for Ireland’s Greatest Tradespeople

Ford Ireland is offering five tradespeople the opportunity to each win a 12-month loan of a branded Transit van, and a coveted spot in the exclusive ‘Transit Team Directory’.

As part of its newly launched ‘Ireland’s Greatest Tradespeople’ initiative, Ford Ireland is calling on people across the country to nominate their favourite tradesperson who deserves this opportunity.

Whether it’s a reliable plumber, a precise tiler, or an innovative gardener, this competition aims to shine a spotlight on those who make a real difference in their communities and always get the job done.

“This initiative is about more than just recognition; it’s about transforming lives and supporting the hardworking individuals who keep Ireland running smoothly every day,” said John Manning, Ford Ireland.

“Ford has always been deeply rooted in Irish communities, and we’re proud to support the tradespeople who are the true heroes of our day-to-day lives. This is our way of giving back and uplifting the individuals who keep Ireland moving forward.”

Broadcaster Baz Ashmawy (pictured), who has teamed up with Ford Ireland to promote the campaign, commented: “I’ve seen firsthand the incredible difference tradespeople make to people’s lives, not just with their skill and hard work, but with the heart they put into every project.

“I’m thrilled to be part of Ford Ireland’s campaign to find and celebrate Ireland’s Greatest Tradesperson. This initiative is a brilliant way to give back to those who give so much of themselves, and I can’t wait to see the inspiring stories that emerge.”

The branded Ford Transit is more than just a vehicle, it’s a partner in success. With its spacious design, cutting-edge features, and proven reliability, it offers tradespeople the tools they need to stand out and thrive in their industries.
