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.
