Organised by APHC annually, the week aims to raise awareness of the skills within the plumbing and heating industry whilst shining a spotlight on the many plumbing businesses that play a vital part in our communities.

This year, QPW particularly aims to champion those who go above and beyond with their commitment to high standards of workmanship and unrivalled levels of customer service with APHC introducing the first ever Quality Plumber Week Awards.

From 19th September until 2nd October nominations will be open and APHC will be encouraging the industry to nominate themselves and their colleagues for one of the awards which have been sponsored by big industry names. The winners will then be announced during Quality Plumber Week itself.

Like previous years, QPW also aims to encourage Installers to share their positive stories and post photos of their previous work on social media throughout the week with a chance to win prizes from industry suppliers.

Mike Costain, managing director, Lyrical Communications, said:

"We're proud to support the APHC for Quality Plumber Week 2022. Plumbing and heating engineers have arguably never been more important, and we want to support them in every way we can.

"During the run up, and during Quality Plumber Week we've got plans for some fantastic content to educate, inform and spark debate for anyone working in the plumbing industry".

Beki Curtis, Account Executive at Premierline, added:

“The APHC Quality Plumber Week is the perfect way to recognise, reward and celebrate the very best in the business. APHC Insurance Services is delighted to sponsor the ‘New Start-up of the Year’ award as we are also passionate in supporting and protecting plumbing businesses as they grow. Every day we provide insurance advice to plumbing and heating businesses of all sizes to help protect their business against the unexpected. Good Luck to all of the nominees!”

John Thompson, CEO, APHC, said: “There are thousands of excellent plumbers working throughout England and Wales, who provide exceptional service and advice to homes and businesses. On behalf of not only our members, but also every hardworking plumber, we want to recognise the skills and work they do.

“We are delighted to collaborate with our partners, Installer and Premierline, and to have the support from our supplier members to develop Quality Plumber Week and celebrate our industry.”
