Nick said: “I was extremely proud of the project I submitted, and know how dedicated I am to my work, so to get some recognition felt amazing. But to win the national award is absolutely incredible, I am speechless. Winning the national title will help to grow my business, connect with manufacturers and do more work with others operating in the heating industry.”

Both entrants impressed industry experts with their technical expertise and customer-centric approach.
