Sean uncovered the coveted Golden Trowel hidden inside a bag of Skimcoat purchased from Wogan Build Centre in Drogheda, just before the Christmas season, but only recovered the Golden Trowel in January.

With a career in plastering spanning back to the 1970s, Sean has been a loyal user of Gyproc products throughout his entire career. His win of €10,000 marks a memorable moment in his long career and was a great surprise.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes when I found the Golden Trowel,” said Sean, “I’ve been using Gyproc products for decades, and this win is truly the cherry on top of my career. I’m incredibly grateful to Gyproc for this
amazing prize.”

The Golden Trowel competition was designed to engage and celebrate the hard work and dedication of plasterers and tradespeople across the country. The search for the hidden Golden Trowels has been a huge success with 30 prizes claimed across Ireland.

As Gyproc celebrate Sean’s incredible win, they would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all participants for their continued loyalty. The competition has been a fantastic way to acknowledge and honour their plasterers who have been providing a superior finish using Gyproc Skimcoat. They also congratulate everyone who found a Golden Trowel during the competition.
