In addition to industry-wide recognition, Tony scooped amazing prizes at both the national and regional stages of the competition.  Tony received an Apple watch, a Dash Cam and a money-can’t-buy trip to the Danfoss HQ in Denmark.  Previous winners have also noted a significant increase in business after their award win.  Consequently,  Tony can be looking forward to a busy few months.

Speaking of his accomplishment, Tony said: “It has been a tough competition this year and I’m absolutely over the moon to have won.  There is so much out there now, so much good quality work, so to be recognised for mine is fantastic. I’ve been chatting to some of my colleagues about the Danfoss trip and that’s a prize I’m definitely looking forward to!”

Runner up, Grant Gundlefinger said: “I am chuffed to have won for Yorkshire.  I’m still blown away by that, so now being runner up in the UK is brilliant.  It’s hard to express what it means, especially when you are up against such professionals.  It is a real honour to get this recognition.  I feel that being the runner up really gives me the confidence to say: yes, I belong.”
