The Bathroom Association, the leading voice for the UK bathroom industry, proudly unveiled the winners of its prestigious Thirty-under-Thirty Awards at the Association’s Gala Dinner on Wednesday, 17 September.
Now in its second year, the Thirty-under-Thirty Awards recognise and honour the next generation of bathroom industry talent. The initiative showcases individuals who are already making waves across the sector—whether through commercial leadership, innovative design, operations, marketing, sales, or technical excellence.
Association Chief Executive Daphne Doody-Green praised the awardees for their “unmatched enthusiasm and commitment to shaping the bathroom industry of tomorrow.” She added,
These winners exemplify what it means to lead with purpose, innovate with intention, and elevate our industry through fresh thinking. It’s not just about age—it’s about impact, and every one of these individuals is delivering it in spades.
Nominees were evaluated by an independent judging panel based on:
Growth within their business – measurable achievements and increased responsibility
Future potential – evidence of drive, learning, and leadership development
Peer recognition – endorsements from colleagues, customers, and managers
The result is a list of thirty outstanding individuals whose work is already driving positive change—and whose future contributions promise even more.
