TTA Awards 2026 wrapped up its evening of celebration on 5th June at Hilton Birmingham Metropole, celebrating the brands, people, products and services that are leading the future of tiling! Guests enjoyed celebrations in style with a good atmosphere and three-course meal, with singing, comedy and even puppeteering from TV personality Bobby Davro.
Standout recognitions include Charles Clapham MBE of Palace Chemicals Ltd winning the Lifetime Achievement Award, delivering an inspiring speech and joined by his family, and Craig Scott of W Rodgerson & Sons winning Tile Fixer of the Year.
Congratulations to all the evening’s TTA Award winners, which is an outstanding achievement and the highest accolade available in the tiling industry.
TTA Awards 2026 hosted another successful charity auction. From football shirts and gallery seats to four-ball golf at The Forest of Arden, the fantastic prizes on offer raised £5,300! TTA wishes a huge thanks to ASCER, Banks & Lloyd, Confindustria Ceramica, UltraTile and the Hilton Birmingham Metropole for donating prizes. Particularly generously, after competitive bidding Banks & Lloyd and UltraTile both agreed to donate their prizes twice. Combined with the charity fundraising from QR codes and envelopes, TTA is able to split an impressive £6,345 between its two nominated charities, Children Today and the Lighthouse Charity.
Enormous thanks are owed to the valued support of the Gold sponsors of TTA Awards 2026: Banks & Lloyd, BIHUI, Genesis Global Systems, Jackoboard, Mapei, Palace Chemicals, PCS, Shackerley (Holdings) Group and UltraTile. By demonstrating commitment to the Awards’ core values of excellence and achievement, these companies not only make this important celebration possible but also help support TTA’s work year-round.
The Awards evening was followed by its popular Afterparty, both the event and photobooth kindly sponsored by Progress Profiles. In good spirits, Awards guests carried on their well-earned celebrations. Once again, Paul Martyn’s entertainment was highly praised.
Many of TTA Awards’ guests were also visitors and exhibitors at the earlier-held ExpoTile®, the UK’s only trade show dedicated to tiles and tiling accessories, sponsored by NoMorePly Boarding Systems. This exhibition successfully relaunched The Tiling Show and continues to build momentum thanks to the support and interest of the industry. Its coexistence alongside TTA Awards increases the value of the networking opportunities both events provide.

Announcements will be made about TTA Awards 2027 in due course.
