The Plumbers Were Back at the Installer Show – 24 to 26 June 2025
The WCoP once again made a strong impression at the Installer Show 2025, with a successful stand, industry awards, and the presentation of bursaries. Highlights included Jason Clark’s installation as CIPHE President, and a strong turnout of volunteers and Court members across the three-day event.
The WCoP stand at this year’s Installer Show was a great success! The team of volunteers over the 3 days showed great enthusiasm, garnered lots of interest, and as you can see by some of the photos, had some fun along the way. The Master Charles Brooks, Court Assistant Julie Spinks and Nic Drew from Monument Tools, presented Ciah from Tycoch, Gower College Swansea, one of this year’s Bursary winners, with her certificate. Sadly, the other Bursary winners could not attend the presentation. However, we send our congratulations to them and thanks to Monument Tools for sponsoring the Bursary Awards.

The Industry Merit Awards took place on the evening of 24 June at the show, where Court Assistant and CIPHE CEO Kevin Wellman received a Merit Award along with Liveryman Louchavan Lemard for their contribution to the industry. Congratulations to them both!

During the CIPHE AGM on the 26th, the last day of the show, Court Assistant Elect Jason Clark was installed as President of the CIPHE for the UK and Hong Kong. The Master congratulated Jason on behalf of the Worshipful Company of Plumbers along with YC, Chairman of the HK Branch, and Andrew, Company Secretary, who both travelled from Hong Kong.
