By in News

Glen Wakeling from Queniborough, Leicester has been crowned the regional winner for the East Midlands in the 2023 national Heating Installer Awards for the fourth time, after overcoming tough competition in the highly talented region.
Glen specialises in heating systems from small domestic boilers to large commercial appliances with his company HeatSpec. In recent years, Glen has also worked increasingly with renewables and offers his customers efficient and cost-effective solutions, whilst providing the highest quality engineering service.
The panel of technical industry judges awarded Glen the top prize for the region after an interesting and exciting judging day in May. He successfully wowed the judges with his professional expertise, problem solving skills and commitment to customer satisfaction. Glen will now go on to the final in the tough competition for the national championship. 
Speaking of his win, Glen said: “To win this award for the fourth time just feels incredible. I know how talented this region is and the competition seems to get tougher each year. I feel very lucky to have my work recognised again this year by the panel of judges. And congratulations to the other regional winners, they’re all fantastic installers and really deserve the win.”
The awards scheme, now in its eighth year, recognises the achievements and raises the credibility of plumbers and heating installers across the country who deliver excellent customer service on a daily basis. Representatives from the awards’ partners, Big Wipes, CIPHE, Danfoss, LG, Refresh PR,  Stelrad and Polypipe Building Products as well as media partner Installer magazine, judged the entries on problem solving, product knowledge and unique details.
The panel was also joined by the 2022 Heating Installer Awards winner, John Cruickshank.
Glen goes forward to the National Finals and the winner will be announced at the Installer show on 28th June, the UK’s national plumbing and heating show.
