First Ever Plumber Awards winner Louchavan Lemard is already building a legacy

Our very first winner, Louchavan Lemard, is already setting the bar high following his triumph at The Plumber Awards earlier this year.

Since lifting the inaugural Plumber Awards trophy in June, Louchavan has been busy giving back to the industry that he’s so passionate about. His latest project involved helping to secure a donation of top-quality plumbing and heating kit for the students at Euston Skills Centre in London, where he regularly volunteers his time.

From the World Plumbing Conference to the classroom

Earlier this year, the World Plumbing Conference returned to UK soil for the first time since 2011, organised by the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE). As part of the conference, an invitational UK Skills Forum was held at InstallerSHOW 2026, giving tradespeople from 16 countries the chance to put their skills to the test. The participants used kit donated by leading manufacturers including Mueller Europe Copper Tubes, Hinton Tools, Polypipe Building Products, Rothenberger, Aalberts, Monument Tools, LIXIL-GROHE, Fernox and Knipex.

When the doors closed, CIPHE was determined that the impact of the conference wouldn’t end there. Working with global social impact organisation, International Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (IWSH), they were searching for a good home for the equipment, and that’s where Louchavan stepped in.

Thanks to the work he already does supporting students at Euston Skills Centre, Louchavan was able to connect the dots, helping the college get its hands on top-quality kit that students can now use in training, and also out on live projects near the college. It’s a brilliant example of what can happen when people across the industry pull together for the greater good.

Plumbing and heating ambassador

It’s exactly this kind of commitment that made Louchavan such a deserving first-ever winner of The Plumber Awards. He’s already proving to be a genuine ambassador for the industry, giving so much back to the next generation only a couple of months on from his win.

Louchavan’s ongoing work in supporting young people into the trade doesn’t stop there. He’s also running a GoFundMe campaign to help young adults build a future through work experience. You can find out more and support his worthy cause here.

Fancy following in his footsteps?

The Plumber Awards are back for 2027, and we’re looking for the next generation of industry superstars; those installers, engineers and business owners who are going above and beyond for their trade, their customers and their communities.

If Louchavan’s story has inspired you, there’s no better time to put yourself forward as entries are now open for next year. Enter The Plumber Awards 2027 for free now and you could be the one writing the next legacy story!

Speaking about his achievement, Steve said: “Being part of the awards in its first year, and being named best in the South East, is a real honour. To then be in the top three in the UK is obviously a real highlight! The awards process is thorough and judges look at so many different parts of your work and your business – it’s not an easy award to win.

Despite the challenges posed by limited space and listed building regulations, James successfully transformed the property’s heating and hot water system, significantly improving comfort and efficiency for the homeowner.

Speaking about his achievement, James said: “I’m extremely proud of what I’ve achieved and it was a real highlight being able to bring this trophy home to my family, who are the people I’m doing all this for!

Clerkenwell plumber Louchavan Lemard crowned UK Plumber of the Year 2026

Clerkenwell plumber and PH247 Ltd co-founder Louchavan Lemard has been crowned the UK’s first-ever Plumber of the Year after winning the inaugural The Plumber Awards 2026.

Louchavan secured the national title after progressing from Central London Regional Winner to compete against outstanding plumbing professionals from across the UK.

His victory followed a rigorous judging process assessing entrants’ technical ability, problem-solving, workmanship and customer service, followed by a technical challenge and public vote.

A national title earned through technical excellence

Judges praised Louchavan’s technical expertise, attention to detail and commitment to finding the right solution for every customer. His entry demonstrated not only his ability to complete work to an exceptional standard, but also the positive difference a highly skilled and conscientious plumber can make to customers’ homes and everyday lives.

Laura Mashiter, founder of The Plumber Awards, said: “Louchavan is a fantastic ambassador for the plumbing profession. His entry demonstrated exceptional technical ability, but what really stood out was his commitment to finding the right solution for his customers and delivering work to the highest possible standard. Competition was incredibly tough, so to be named the first-ever national winner of The Plumber Awards is an incredible achievement. It’s clear that he is keen to go much further on the back of the win, and I hope more will support the fundraising campaign.”

Using his win to support the next generation

For Louchavan, plumbing represents much more than a profession. It provided him with an opportunity to rebuild his life following a challenging childhood. He has now chosen to use his national recognition to help young people facing similar barriers.

Louchavan said: “When I was growing up, after a challenging childhood, the plumbing industry gave me a second chance and helped me rebuild my life. Part of my winner’s prize was a £1,000 holiday voucher from Powered Now. I’ve chosen to donate this to Euston Skills Centre to inspire another youngster and future plumber. My aim is to help disadvantaged young adults attend the WorldSkills Competition in China so they can see what is possible if you work hard and have a dream. Since, CT1 has also added the same amount to the fund, which I’m very grateful for. If anyone else would like to help, please get in touch so we can help as many disadvantaged youngsters as possible.”

Celebrating the UK’s leading plumbing professionals

The Plumber Awards was created to recognise plumbers who consistently demonstrate outstanding workmanship, technical knowledge, professionalism and customer service. Around 150,000 qualified plumbers work across the UK, helping to provide clean drinking water, safe sanitation, reliable heating and efficiently operating homes and businesses.

Despite the importance of their work, exceptional plumbers do not always receive the recognition they deserve. The free-to-enter awards aim to change that by celebrating the individuals raising standards and representing the very best of the profession.

The programme is run by the team behind the long-established Heating Installer Awards, which has spent more than a decade recognising excellence and promoting best practice across the heating industry.

Celebrated at InstallerSHOW 2026

Louchavan received the national trophy live at InstallerSHOW 2026 at the NEC Birmingham, surrounded by leading manufacturers, installers and plumbing industry professionals.

Alongside the national title, he received a prize package supported by The Plumber Awards’ industry partners, including CT1, Kingsbridge, Polypipe Building Products, Powered Now, the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering and Refresh.

Louchavan’s name now enters The Plumber Awards’ history as its first national winner, setting an outstanding benchmark for future entrants.

Powered Now launches ‘Here Is My Work’ website builder designed to help plumbers stand out and win work

Powered Now, the UK’s leading job management software for the trades, has launched its brand-new website building platform, Here Is My Work, which enables plumbers to create a professional website from real jobs, in minutes.

The free to join platform enables users to upload unlimited photos and videos of their work, add descriptions, and use its AI-powered automation features to create a professional, shareable website to help them demonstrate the quality of their jobs and win more work.

Powered Now has built the platform specifically for UK tradespeople, as a response to common challenges faced across the trades such as difficulties presenting work online, website management fees, an increasing reliance on third-party review platforms, and standing out in a crowded marketplace.

Key features of the platform include:

• Portfolio builder – Tradespeople are able to upload photos, descriptions, locations, organise work into collections such as kitchens or bathrooms, and customise the look and feel to match their brand. Portfolios can be set up in as little as five minutes.

• AI-powered automation – Users can upload a photo, add a few words, and use AI to generate a professional description, saving hours of admin time. Free users can enjoy one AI description a month, with Premium users having access to unlimited AI writing.

• Ownership of reviews – Tradespeople can display their Google Business reviews, collect reviews directly through their portfolio, reply publicly, and retain ownership of their reputation rather than being tied to third-party platforms.

• QR codes and easy sharing – Each portfolio includes a unique web link and QR code, making it easy to share work with potential customers via business cards, van signage, invoices, quotes, WhatsApp, and social media.

• Invoice import – Automatically import completed jobs from invoicing software including Powered Now, Tradify, and PDF invoices. AI software extracts the job details, allowing users to review and publish with a single click.

• Mobile app for easy uploads – Users can update their portfolio whilst on the job by installing Here Is My Work on their phone, with camera-first uploads, offline access, and push notifications for new messages and reviews.

• Built-in contact forms – Customers can contact tradespeople directly through their portfolio

On the launch of Here Is My Work, Benjamin Dyer, Founder and CEO of Powered Now, commented: “At Powered Now, we see fantastic work being done by tradespeople up and down the country, but often this isn’t being showcased to its full potential.

“We know that tradespeople rely heavily on word of mouth, however it is essential that potential customers can easily access examples and see the quality of their work. Here Is My Work offers exactly this, giving tradespeople a simple, professional way to present completed jobs, manage reviews, and turn past work into new enquiries.”

“The platform has been built around real feedback we’ve received from Powered Now customers, with the aim of helping them to stand out and win more work, without the cost, complexity or reliance on third-party platforms, so their best work can keep working for them long after the job is finished.”

For plumbers who want to further enhance their portfolio, the platform offers a Premium plan option at £100 per year, with additional features including custom domains, advanced customisation, SEO tools, WhatsApp integration and priority support. Premium users of Powered Now’s job management software will have access to these features free of charge.

For an additional £50, per year, users can also create a professional email address using their domain. All users receive a 14-day free trial of Premium features.
