APHC celebrated Quality Plumber Week 2025 last week and we hosted a week full of webinars, competitions, social media quizzes and the Quality Plumber Week awards to shine the spotlight on the incredible work of the installers in the Plumbing & Heating industry.
The annual event organised by APHC in partnership with Installer and Premierline Business Insurance Brokers, celebrates the work of installers, champions the vital role that installers play and helps to fight the stigma that the industry still faces.
Throughout the week Installers were encouraged to share pictures of their quality installations on X, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn using the hashtag #QPW25 and prizes were donated by industry suppliers to be awarded at random to some of those who took part. In total, 23 prize bundles were awarded with nearly 100 installers taking part in the social media activity.
In addition to the online social media competitions, we organised five live webinars covering key industry topics including:
- The Importance of Water Testing and How Digital Tools Can Help hosted by Fernox
- Expansion Vessels Explained hosted by Altecnic
- Local Marketing for Plumbing & HVAC Businesses hosted by Fergus
- Future Proof Your Plumbing and Heating Business: A Net Zero Roadmap hosted by APHC

We would like to extend a huge thank you to all who got involved and supported this year’s Quality Plumber Week. This initiative was developed as an nationwide celebration of the plumbing and heating industry, with the aim of bringing people together to showcase the positive work of our installers, educate homeowners and challenge the stereotypes installers face.
Without the support of those of you working on the front line we would never be able to make real change so it’s great to see the industry unite and celebrate the important work you all do.
