Lawton Tubes and PB Plumber are excited to announce the LPB Plumbing Awards!
This is not a popularity contest.
This is not for financial gain.
This is about celebrating those who are making a genuine impact on the plumbing community. It’s that simple.

Celebrating Plumbing’s Best
Copperman himself, Robert Lawton, and PB Plumber’s Peter Booth are both passionate about engaging with the plumbing community and the more people they’ve met, the more inspiring stories they’ve heard.
That’s why the pair are joining forces to commend those who are helping the industry to thrive!
The LPB Awards recognises the outstanding contributions of plumbers and colleges to the plumbing community as nominated by you!
Submit your nominations by the deadline on the 31st of May 2023.
We’re honoured to have Frank Bruno, the former world heavyweight boxing champion, presenting the Plumber’s Plumber of the Year Award at this year’s InstallerSHOW!
It’s a privilege to have Frank as part of the show, especially as Lawton Tubes has selected the Frank Bruno Foundation as our charity partner. We are proud to support this important cause and look forward to seeing Frank, celebrating alongside our impactful plumbers in June.

Share your nominations!
The Plumber’s Plumber of the Year Award will go to the plumber who has had a profound, positive impact on the plumbing community.

The winner will:
