Congratulations to the UKSFA Award winners!

We celebrated the outstanding achievements of individuals and organisations at the UKSFA Conference & Awards 2026 (July), recognising innovation, collaboration and commitment to driving sustainability across the flooring sector.

The prestigious awards ceremony was held at the Voco St John’s Hotel in Solihull on 1 July 2026 during our two-day conference and highlighted the people, projects and initiatives helping to shape a more circular and responsible flooring industry, showcasing best practice and demonstrating that the sector continues to evolve, innovate and raise standards. We were delighted that the impressive UKSFA Awards themselves were made out of recycled event carpet, and were very kindly provided by MJs Event Services Ltd – recycling in action!

Congratulations to all our winners;

A special recognition award was presented to Robert Barker, who received the Outstanding Commitment and Contribution to UKSFA Award in recognition of his incredible support and dedication over the past 14 years.

Robert’s knowledge, commitment and passion have played a significant role in shaping UKSFA into the organisation it is today. While Robert is stepping down from the Board, he will remain an important part of the UKSFA community.

Cathie Clarke, CEO of UKSFA, said: “Congratulations to all this year’s winners for their achievements and continued commitment to sustainability.

“The awards demonstrate the strength, creativity and collaboration within the flooring industry; from developing new circular economy solutions and improving reuse and recycling, to creating partnerships that deliver meaningful environmental impact. By recognising those leading the way, UKSFA continues to highlight the innovation and best practice that is helping to build a more sustainable future for flooring.”
