In a significant show of commitment to the UK’s construction industry, Isuzu UK proudly continues as the Headline Sponsor for the prestigious Federation of Master Builders (FMB) Master Builder Awards 2025. This marks the fourth consecutive sponsorship for Isuzu since 2019, further solidifying the brand’s alignment with the high standards and dedication that define the Master Builder Awards.
The 2025 ceremony, to be held on 26th September at the iconic Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester, promises to celebrate the UK’s finest builders and exceptional projects. This year’s event will be hosted by renowned TV presenter Nick Knowles, a popular face in the construction and renovation industry, adding a touch of familiar expertise to the occasion.
Celebrating Craftsmanship and Dedication in Building
The Master Builder Awards honour a broad range of construction excellence, from small home extensions to large-scale commercial projects. These awards showcase the craftsmanship, skill, and quality that builders bring to each project—values that resonate strongly with Isuzu’s reputation for reliability and strength. As part of this year’s partnership, the coveted Master Builder of the Year will be awarded the latest Isuzu D-Max pick-up truck, an exceptional prize that underscores Isuzu’s commitment to supporting the professionals who rely on durable vehicles for their demanding work.
George Wallis, Head of Marketing at Isuzu UK, expressed excitement over the extended partnership, stating, “We’re thrilled to once again team up with the Federation of Master Builders for their 2025 Master Builder Awards. This long-standing partnership perfectly aligns with our ethos of durability, craftsmanship, reliability, and professionalism. Just like a master builder who takes pride in every detail of their work, the Isuzu D-Max is built to tackle any job, no matter how tough. We can’t wait to see who will cement their place as the Master Builder of the Year and pick-up the 2025 top prize!”
