Lawton Tubes & PB Plumber Present: The 2025 LPB Awards
Recognising the real heroes of the plumbing and ACR community.
This isn’t about popularity.
This isn’t for profit.
This is about impact.
It’s about celebrating the plumbers and Air conditioning Engineers, who go above and beyond – those who lift up others, give back to the trade, and inspire the community every day.
Celebrating the Industry’s Best
Robert Lawton (aka Copperman) and Peter Booth (PB Plumber) have spent years connecting with tradespeople across the UK. The more people they meet, the more incredible stories they hear, stories of generosity, leadership, resilience, and passion for the craft. That’s why they created the LPB Awards: to honour and spotlight the individuals making a difference in our industry.
Nominations are now open, and we want to hear from you!
