How Super Trowel Became Europe’s Biggest Bricklaying Competition | Jack Dawson

Episode #095 | Jack Dawson

How do you turn a bricklaying competition into one of Europe’s biggest construction events?

This week, Jack Dawson, 1/3 Directors of Super Trowel, joins us to take us behind the scenes of the annual event - from its beginnings, to sponsors, mental health, funding, competition, teaching bricklaying and what it takes to keep growing year after year.

Jack answers burning questions about the most recent 2026 event, & the pair also look back at the inaugural UK’s Strongest Builder event, discuss Construction Sport’s role in supporting the industry, and find out what the future could look like for Super Trowel.
