FMB Announces 2025 Master Builder Awards

The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) has announced the launch of its biannual Master Builder Awards, a prestigious event that recognises the exceptional work of building professionals across the UK.

Often referred to as the 'Oscars of the building industry', these awards celebrate outstanding craftsmanship, exceptional customer service, and innovative building practices. Whether it's a stunning renovation, a sustainable new build, or a beautiful commercial project, the FMB Awards provide a platform to showcase the best in the industry.

Homeowners are also encouraged to participate by nominating their favourite Master Builder, individual builder, or apprentice who has exceeded expectations.

Brian Berry, Chief Executive of the FMB, said: "The Master Builder Awards are the Oscars of the building industry, showcasing the brilliant work that Master Builders carry out across the UK. I strongly encourage all FMB Master Builders to enter, and receive the recognition they deserve. If you're not already a member, there is still time to join and be eligible for the awards."

Master Builders who enter the awards will automatically be in running to win the grand prize of an Isuzu D-Max Pick-up worth over £42,000, supplied by the Awards headline sponsor. Seven regional and Home Nations awards ceremonies will be held across the UK in Spring 2025, before finalists compete for the overall national titles to be announced in September at a ceremony at Manchester's Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, hosted by well-known TV presenter Nick Knowles.

George Wallis, Head of Marketing, Isuzu UK said: "We're thrilled to once again team up with the Federation of Master Builders for their 2025 Master Builder Awards. This long-standing partnership perfectly aligns with our ethos of durability, craftsmanship, reliability and professionalism. Just like a Master Builder who takes pride in every detail of their work, the Isuzu D-Max is built to tackle any job, no matter how tough. We can't wait to see who will cement their place as the Master Builder of the Year and pick-up the 2025 top prize!"

Brian Berry added: "It's fantastic to once again be partnering with Isuzu, and for the fifth year running they are recognising the hard work and dedication that goes into being a Master Builder with an amazing prize of a new D-Max Pick-Up. We're looking forward to seeing another great builder win the ultimate prize, and we wish all of our members the best of luck."
