Graham Plumbers' Merchant is joining the search for the Plumber of the Year by sponsoring the category at this year's On The Tools Awards. The merchant joins Saint-Gobain brands Jewson and British Gypsum in supporting the awards.

The On The Tools Awards celebrate the best the construction industry has to offer in a wide range of areas. Among the 33 categories are Health & Safety and Training Excellence, Contractor and Sub-contractor of the Year, as well as recognition of the best industry employers and equipment manufacturers. Key award categories, such as Plumber of the Year, highlight outstanding tradespeople from across the UK.

"As a specialist merchant, we know how many great plumbers are out there, producing the highest quality work and providing an excellent service to their customers," said Ian Kenny, marketing director at Graham. "That's why we are proud to support these awards and help plumbers who go above and beyond in their job to receive the recognition they deserve."

The On The Tools Awards ceremony will be held at the Emirates Stadium in London on Friday 11 November. A shortlist has been chosen for each category and public voting is now open.
