Young Person in LPG Awards launched at Installer Show, Birmingham

Young Person in LPG is an initiative that recognises the talented young people aged 35 and under who are working in and making a difference to the industry. It shines a spotlight on their successes and raises awareness of the opportunities for excellent careers in the sector. Anyone working in the industry can enter and win an award, from any professional background provided they have made a significant or outstanding contribution to their company, role and industry.

The awards were launched at the Installer Show in Birmingham

Nominations open on the 28th June and close on 18th September 2023. All nominations will be judged by an expert Awards Panel with winners announced at the Liquid Gas UK Annual Conference on the 2nd November 2023 in Liverpool.

There are three categories:

• Rising Star of the Year
• Apprentice of the Year
• Outstanding Achievement

Nominations can be either a colleague nominating a candidate, or an individual nominating themselves.

Laura Needham, Head of Training at Valliant said “These awards are really important as a way to celebrate the achievements of young people working in the industry, and a chance to reflect on some challenges ahead. It is a great way to demonstrate the skills, learning and support provided to attract new people in the industry. If you, or a colleague deserves recognition in these categories, then please put your applications in.”
