What are the Thirty-under-Thirty Awards?
As the leading voice for the bathroom industry in the UK, the BMA is committed to fostering innovation, excellence, and talent development. The Thirty-under-Thirty Awards embody this commitment by spotlighting individuals under the age of thirty who have demonstrated exceptional skills, leadership, and dedication in their respective roles.
Open to all BMA member companies, these awards, judged by an independent panel, showcase the remarkable contributions of young talent shaping the future of bathroom manufacturing. From finance, sales and marketing to innovative design concepts or career advancements, the awards seek to honour those driving positive change and pushing the boundaries of excellence in the industry.

The judging process
An independent judging panel will oversee the nominations.
They will score the entries based on the following:

- Recognition among their peers. Testimonials from customers and colleagues are welcome
A shortlist will be announced on June 26 at the BMA Insights Live sessions at InstallerSHOW 2025, held at the NEC, Birmingham.
We’ll also confirm the shortlist via our website and directly to all who have submitted an entry.
The final winners will be announced at the BMA Connect Conference 2025 gala dinner on September 17. After the conference, we’d like to arrange to interview all winners via several Teams meetings. The video recordings will then be utilised on social media to help celebrate the winners’ achievements.
