Celebrating the Best of Belron UK 2024

Huge congratulations to Phil Whiddon, winner of the Best of Belron UK 2026 award. His achievement stands out in an exceptionally strong field of talented finalists.

Creating this year’s trophies has been a real privilege. Each piece was crafted from waste windscreen glass and reclaimed wood, giving new life to materials that would otherwise have been discarded. The design was completed with a unique, one‑off wooden stand, handmade by Andy Arnold, a brilliant local woodworker whose craftsmanship brought the whole concept together beautifully.

A massive well done to Steve Carey (2nd place) and Kyle Nicholson (3rd place), whose skill and dedication shone through at every stage of the competition.

We also want to celebrate the full group of finalists: James Nicholas, Hollie Haynes, Shane Rutter, Steven Lawson, and Ryan Laughton — an inspiring lineup of professionals who represent the very best of the industry.

Wishing all the finalists the very best of luck as they head to Portugal. Celebrating excellence while championing sustainability feels pretty special.
