Nominate your installer hero

UK: Valves and fittings manufacturer Conex Bänninger is seeking to celebrate caring installers and air conditioning and refrigeration engineers who have gone above and beyond in these challenging times.

The company is inviting nominations from those who have helped out deserving individuals or supported their local community through off-the-clock installations or repairs, or in some other way unrelated to their normal job.

One overall winner will be rewarded with the Installer Heroes 2020 trophy, >B< Press fittings, Conex Bänninger merchandise and a valuable REMS press tool. In addition, three runners-up will be rewarded with a £100 Amazon voucher each. 

Dan Wild, UK and Ireland Business Unit Director for Conex Bänninger, said: “We’re thrilled to be announcing the launch of our Installer Heroes Awards. We’ve seen some really inspiring people within the HVACR sector who have worked selflessly to make their community a better place, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The Installer Heroes Award is about showcasing those who have gone the extra mile. It’s a great way for us to highlight some of the remarkable individuals we have working in the industry and providing them with the recognition they deserve.”

Conex Bänninger has teamed up with darts legend Bobby George in its search. “Having built my own house, I know first hand how hard the trades have to work. They really are a caring bunch and I’m delighted to be supporting the Installer Heroes Awards,” Bobby George said.

Readers are invited to nominate a deserving recipient by sending a submission explaining what they have done to support their local community to: [email protected].
