Irwin M&E has been named Large Contractor of the Year at the Northern Ireland Plumbing & Heating Awards 2026, recognising the company’s continued work and contribution to the industry.
The award was presented at a gala ceremony at Belfast’s Europa Hotel on Friday 6 November, bringing together hundreds of industry representatives to celebrate the businesses, people and projects shaping Northern Ireland’s plumbing and heating sector.
It was a particularly significant occasion for Irwin, as the first time the company had ever been nominated at the awards. To come away with the top prize, competing against a strong field of established industry names, makes the recognition all the more special.
Maintenance Director Alan Pedlow and Contracts Director Garry Baxter accepted the award on behalf of Irwin M&E.
Supporting excellence across the industry
Irwin was also proud to support this year’s awards as sponsor of the Manufacturer of the Year category, recognising the manufacturers driving quality, product development and innovation across the sector.
Contracts Director Garry Baxter presented the award on behalf of Irwin, with Altecnic taking home the title.
The evening was hosted by comedian and broadcaster Neil Delamere, with an independent judging panel recognising excellence across a range of contractor, supplier, manufacturer, project and individual categories.
The event also supported the Lighthouse Charity, which provides emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to construction workers and their families across the UK and Ireland.
A win for the whole team
The Large Contractor of the Year award is a fantastic achievement for Irwin M&E and recognition of the people, expertise and hard work behind the business.
