TTA HOLDS ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL AWARDS EVENING
TTA Awards are all about celebrating the successes of the past year in the tiling industry – and looking forward to the future.
The 2023 Awards returned to the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, a special venue which reflects the special occasion.
This year’s Awards were held under the theme of ‘Shaping the Future’ to reflect TTA’s ongoing modernisation and leadership of the industry.
The evening was hosted by Mike Bushell, who performed his duties flawlessly, briefly discussing his experiences as a presenter on BBC Breakfast TV. Mike was also great at engaging with the audience – playing a game in which they would have to guess whether a bizarre sport was real or made up.
TTA would like to express thanks to this year’s 16 Gold sponsors. The record number of sponsors highlights how our industry is thriving, with the Awards a symbol of TTA’s continued strength and growth.
Without the support of our sponsors, who are all outstanding brands from within our industry, this fantastic event and much of TTA’s work throughout the year would not be possible.
So thank you to all of this year’s Gold sponsors: Amber Underfloor Heating, Banks & Lloyd Ltd, BIHUI, Genesis Global Systems Ltd, JACKOBOARD®, Mapei (UK) Ltd, Palace Chemicals Ltd, Polyfab Coatings & Systems Ltd (PCS), Shackerley (Holdings) Group Ltd, STS Ltd, Tile Mountain Ltd, Topps Tiles Plc, UltraTile (Instarmac Group plc), Verona Group, W.B. Simpson & Sons Ltd and Weber.
TTA would also like to thank everyone who participated in the public vote; your involvement and that element of public participation continues to bring another level of excitement to TTA Awards.
TTA Chair, Paul Luff, discussed the Awards evening, stating:
“This year’s Awards evening was once again a night to remember. Our theme of ‘Shaping the Future’ combined a celebration of everything that is great about our industry with our vision for the future”.
“I especially want to thank everyone who attended the Tiling Show, which I am delighted to say has now established itself as an essential and enjoyable fixture in the industry’s annual calendar”.
“Congratulations to all the Award winners, as well as those who were ‘Highly Commended’. On behalf of TTA, I express our thanks to the judges, sponsors and everyone involved in making TTA Awards a continuing success”.
“I was particularly delighted to be able to welcome back our colleagues from Ascer, representing the Spanish Tile Manufacturers, as well as welcoming our colleagues from Confindustria Ceramica, who represent the Italian Tile Manufacturers. It is very rewarding to be able to showcase our developing relations with the trade associations of the tile producing countries at TTA Awards each year”.
“TTA were proud to have raised over £14,000 for Children Today. We were pleased to raise such a great amount for our chosen charity. This was a fantastic achievement that goes towards an important cause”.
