Posted by: electime 11th July 2025
LCL Awards, one of the UK’s leading certification bodies for the building services engineering sector, hosted its second annual awards ceremony on 26th June 2025, honouring the outstanding contributions and achievements of its approved centres and learners across the UK.
‘LCL-The Awards’ was held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole following the InstallerSHOW at the NEC – a fitting precursor to the event.
This year’s awards programme reflected the evolving priorities of the industry, with the introduction of two new categories – Trainee of the Year and Community Engagement. These additions joined the existing categories: Gas, Electrical, Green, Inclusivity, and Innovation – broadening the scope of recognition and celebrating both individual and organisational impact across the sector.
From the use of Augmented Reality to giving purpose to young people disengaged from school, the awards showcased the innovation, passion and commitment of LC Awards’ centres.
All entries were assessed by a panel of independent industry experts, who praised the consistently high standard of submissions and were particularly impressed by the dedication of LCL Awards’ centres to learner support, innovation and wider community support.
● Stewart Clements, Director of The Heating & Hot Water Industry Council (HHIC)
● Brett Forster, Head of Training at NAPIT
● Hattie Hassan MBE, CEO of Stopcocks and long-time advocate for women in the trades
● Charlotte Lee, CEO of The Heat Pump Association
Mark Krull, Director of LCL Awards, commented: “We’re thrilled to be celebrating another year of outstanding achievements from our approved centres and learners and what better place to host it than alongside InstallerSHOW – one of the key events in our industry calendar.
“Over the past 21 years, LCL Awards has kept pace with the changing challenges and opportunities of the industry, but one thing that’s remained constant is the quality and dedication of our centres. They continue to inspire us with the work they do – supporting learners, embracing innovation, and making a positive difference to their local communities.
“Congratulations to all of this year’s winners and thank you to our judges, partners and everyone who joined us in celebrating their success.”
The LCL Awards team is already looking ahead to 2026, as the organisation continues to raise the bar for excellence in vocational training.
