The industry famous Heating Installer Awards is back for the third year running, in an attempt to once again find the Best Heating Installer in the UK.
In an industry often plagued with cowboy horror stories, the awards recognises the efforts of tradespeople who go above and beyond for their customers each and every day. The Heating Installer Awards celebrates outstanding work within the plumbing and heating sectors and is now open for entry.
The awards are sponsored by Danfoss, Wolseley, Avanti Gas, Polypipe, Sentinel, Installer Magazine and Vaillant UK and is an official partner of Installers First. The Heating Installer Awards has previously highlighted some of the UK’s best plumbers and heating installers who continually demonstrate expert technicality and skill, and who deliver exceptional customer service, and you could be the next to take the title.
Entries will be open until February, when an expert panel of judges will select a deserved finalist from 11 regions across the UK. Upon the announcement of the regional shortlist, the vote will go to the British public, who will decide the UK’s Best Heating Installer 2018. The overall winner will be announced at the industry trade show, Installer, where last year’s winner, Peter Booth of Loughborough, will hand over his crown.
Neil Davies, trade marketing director of Heating Installer Awards sponsor, Sentinel, said: “The Heating Installer Awards truly celebrates the positives of working in the plumbing and heating industry. It helps to recognise those who constantly innovate and add to their customer service offering to ensure UK’s families are taken care of. We are proud to be working with the awards, as it not only brings installers together through a shared love of a thriving industry, but also encourages tradespeople to be even more professional, determined and dedicated to their customers. It promises to be another fantastic year.”
Rachel Smith, head of marketing from sponsor, Polypipe, said: “Those working within plumbing and heating are faced with an ever changing industry. Only the highest-quality tradespeople out there are able to keep up with advancing technology and techniques that result in technically-sound installations, while simultaneously offering the very best customer service to end users.
“Polypipe encourages anyone that values the work they do, and the difference they make to families across the country, to enter and represent not only themselves, but the industry they are proud to be a part of.”
Peter Booth of G V Booth Plumbing, last year’s winner of the Heating Installer Awards, added: “Throughout the course of my career, and especially since winning the competition last year, I have spent a lot of my personal time trying to unite the champions of the industry.
“The Heating Installer Awards is a great way to acknowledge this hard work and whilst I won’t be happy to give up my crown, other installers deserve the recognition I’ve enjoyed since last year’s competition.”
