Lawton Awards Gala 2025

Celebrating the achievements of our incredible Lawton family is a privilege and a joy. With so many hardworking, dedicated individuals making up our talented team across all three Lawton sites, this called for a truly spectacular event!

Enter the inaugural Lawton Awards Gala!

Held on Saturday 10th May at the prestigious Warwick Racecourse, over 160 people from the Lawton Tubes workforce and guests came together to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements and long service of fellow colleagues, making for a fantastically fun and uplifting atmosphere.

On arrival, our lucky Lawton team members got to rub shoulders with the likes of Captain Jack Sparrow and Marilyn Monroe while sipping drinks and a having a flutter in the gorgeous May sunshine. Once we were all spent out, we retired to the main marquee where a delicious three-course meal was served and enjoyed by all. This was followed by the awards ceremony, hosted by the compere, Brody Swain, and plenty of drinks and (bad) dancing into the night!

Awards up for grabs were both silly and serious, a nod to Lawton’s unique blend of fun meets professional.

Some of the stand-out categories included Customer Service Superstar, which went to Aimee King (Sales Support Assistant), Problem Solver of the year, which went to Jon Brealey, (Operations Manager), and the Unsung Hero award, which went to Aga Szefler, Shift Manager.

Each Lawton site also saw its Team Player Extraordinaire recognised, with awards going to Ryan Allison, IT Support from Coventry site, Derek Bond, Operations Manager from Poole site, and Mark Tandy, Operations Manager from Redditch site.

Other, more light-hearted awards included a prize for Fashionista of the year, claimed by Kristine Dergaca, Supply Chain Administrator, and Chatterbox of the year, which went to Lee Clayton, Head of Plumbing and Heatin, (no surprises there!).

Awards were also handed out in recognition of team members’ longstanding service to Lawton Tubes. A total of 47 staff members from across our three sites received the Lawton’s Long Service Award. You can see the names of our dedicated long serving team members here.

A big thank you to Shannon Stevenson and Lee Clayton for organising such a memorable event; an exceptional time was had by all, and it certainly won’t be the last!
