NATIONAL FLOORING AWARDS
Celebrating Excellence in UK Flooring
Hosted by Cockerill & Co
After decades of dedication, craftsmanship and hard work, the UK flooring industry deserves more than a quiet nod. It deserves a spotlight. The National Flooring Awards is that spotlight — a night of recognition, celebration and pride. As organisers, Cockerill & Co welcome flooring retailers, contractors, suppliers, installers and innovators nationwide to come together for one unforgettable evening.
Why the Awards Matter
The flooring trade isn’t “just another industry.” It’s a craft, a career, a community. The National Flooring Awards honours the businesses and individuals who go above and beyond — those who innovate, deliver quality workmanship, display consistent excellence, champion training and raise the bar for the whole industry.
This isn’t about flashy gimmicks or hollow accolades. It’s about true craftsmanship, real results and celebrating the people who make flooring great.
