Darren Dennis, co-owner of Bognor Regis-based Timbtech Carpentry Ltd, was among 50 tradesmen who revved up for the regional heat of the Irwin Challenge which took place at the Chichester Covers store last month.

To win the supercar, they were set the challenge of accurately cutting out a piece of wood, marking out and carefully drilling through a ceramic tile, without breaking it.

Darren soon hit top gear and was the quickest with a time of 59.22 seconds. He will now go through to the final which takes place in Birmingham, where he will be in with a chance of winning a Porsche 911. After going through to the final, he was presented with a bag of Irwin equipment, including a power drill and a radio.
