BUILDERS from heaven are being sought to compete for the title of Master Builder of the Year 2004.

The Federation of Master Builders launched the search on Wednesday and John Watson, regional director, said he is determined to put the Midlands' best builders in the spotlight.

"Forget nightmare stories about builders from hell, we are looking for the angels of the building trade - and there are far more of them out there than certain TV programmes would have us believe.

"But, to be in with a chance of winning, we need nominations from satisfied customers.

Pleased

"So, if you've had exceptional service from a builder in the last 12 months or so, this is your chance to let him know just how pleased you are," he said.

The winners of the Midlands heat will go forward to the national final where they could win a brand new light commercial vehicle of their choice.

The winning customer could also win a holiday of their choice worth £3,000.

You will find more details and an entry form at www.findabuilder.co.uk or by calling freephone 08000 152 522.

The closing date for entries is December 31 and the winners will be announced in the spring of 2004.
