Craig Gilhome from Prudhoe in Northumberland has been named as the UK’s Best Heating Installer 2025, announced at a recent ceremony at Birmingham NEC. Having won the title of Best Heating Installer in the North East earlier in the year, Craig went on to beat finalists from all other regions in the UK.
In addition to the national title, Craig also brought home the winner’s trophy for Best HVAC Installer 2025, which was a new award introduced last year.
Loughton’s Shaun Bone of Blue Flame MK Ltd, who was awarded Best Installer in the South East earlier in the year, was presented with the award for the UK’s Best Sustainable Installer 2025. Meanwhile Jessica Rose from Herefordshire was crowned the industry’s 2025 Rising Star, and Joshua Bond of Off Grid Plumbing and Heating Ltd from Cornwall was awarded the Heating Installer Awards 2025 National Runner Up trophy.
Commenting on his win, Craig said: “I’ve seen how winning this award can change the future for an installer, and I’m just so humbled to win in 2025. The people I’ve been up against are some of the biggest names in the trade today. I knew I’d done a great job on a really challenging project, and I’m so happy that the work I put in has been recognised – thank you everyone.”
