The Atrium at the Whittlebury Park venue was a buzz of excitement in July as the winners of this year’s awards campaign were announced by guest speaker football legend Dean Saunders and Andy Clutton, editor of PSi magazine. Following the PSi Golf Day, the evening recognised the winners of the awards campaign as voted for by installers – not a judging panel, which is why winning a trophy is held in such high regard by the industry.
The winners of 2026 were revealed as:
