The 2009 Tile Association Awards, which took place at the Birmingham Hilton Metropol Hotel on April the 25th, are a unique opportunity to recognise the outstanding professionalism and talent within the building industry.

RUBI UK Ltd, as the UK leading supplier of tile cutting equipment, have long been involved in TTA projects and, for the second year running, were pleased to be the Sponsor of the Best Individual Tile Fixer Award which recognises a sole trader or employee within the tile fixing sector effectively singling them out as the best Tile Fixer in the country.

This year, reaching a decision on the winner and finalists was incredibly difficult because of the quality of the entries and, from here, we would like to congratulate all participants for their contribution, But a decision must be reached and the 2009 T.T.A. Individual Tile Fixer Award went to Jonathan Davies of JD Tiling who beat thee other finalist to the coveted price.

Jonathan has an NVQ level 3 in wall and floor tiling, a CSCS Gold Card and has also won the Medal of Excellence from City & Guilds in advanced computer engineering. As evidence of the high standard of the work he has carried out he submitted details and photographs of a horizon pool, and a steam room and Jacuzzi area that he tiled in 2008.

In the picture; left, you can see Jonathan at our premises in Rainham, Essex, being presented with a gift from RubiUK by General Manager Mr. Vladimir Hoyos. Jonathan chose an ND-200 and a Duplex 9-BL to add to his many Rubi® tools.

Congratulations Jonathan!!
