An honest tradesman who returned a long-lost wedding ring after finding it on a job has been nominated for a national award.

Hardworking Boyan Metrashev was working on a flat in Glasgow that a family was looking to sell when he made the discovery and handed it back to the owner, Debbie Hepburn.

Debbie was so impressed with the Paisley-based builder that she has put the Metrashev Property Maintenance and Renovations worker forward for the MyBuilder Job of the Year competition.

The story of honesty and selflessness comes after Boyan also did such a fantastic job on the flat.

The homeowner wrote: "Boyan kept to timescales and communicated clearly. He did a brilliant job of a very dirty flat, and was reasonably priced for the work.

“He also demonstrated his honesty when he found an old wedding ring and kept it for me.

“I then recommended him to other family members, and he did an excellent job there too!”
