Last night the best of the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning industry joined together for a night of celebration at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane for the 2011 H&V News Awards.
Since their inception, the H&V News Awards have been at the heart of the industry calendar, shining a light on the most talented individuals and companies in the sector.
This year, a record number of entries were received, all winners have shown exceptional achievements and all trophies are very well deserved.
Dennis Flower, Editor of H&V News commented:
“The H&V News Awards continue to showcase the best of our industry. This year the judges found it more difficult than ever to separate some extremely strong entries. We have been overwhelmed by the number of entries submitted this year, which speaks volumes for the health of the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning industry.”
The awards proved to be a fantastic event, Comedian, Alexander Armstrong hosted the ceremony with his usual grace and sharp wit. Guests also bid on a range of stunning artworks, courtesy of the Broad Gallery, the proceeds of which will be going to Leonard Cheshire Disability, along with the profits of the evening’s charity casino.
The full list of winners can be found below.
