UAP, the specialist in locks and hardware for doors and windows, has been announced as the main sponsor of the G23 Awards.
Launched in 2004, the awards recognise innovation and exceptional performance in the glass and glazing industry. Expected to attract more than 450 people, this year’s event will take place on 24 November at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
Established in 1996, UAP now operates across seven leading brands, providing an unrivalled range of products to the domestic and commercial industries.
Kamila Kasperowicz, marketing director at UAP, said: “Having watched the G Awards go from strength to strength, we wanted to show our support as a main sponsor this year.
“UAP has expanded rapidly in recent years, and works with many different people and companies, so we know our industry has a lot to be proud of. The products, businesses, individuals, and initiatives showcased at the awards never fail to impress, demonstrating the innovation and quality which we are all committed to.
“We are looking forward to celebrating these achievements as both a sponsor and entrant into the awards.”
Tony Higgin, organiser of the G23 Awards added: “UAP’s sponsorship is great news for the G23 awards. The backing of leading brands ensures we can keep rewarding excellence in glass and glazing, and that the event remains a highlight in the industry calendar.”
UAP’s sponsorship follows several successes at the G Awards. In 2022, it was named a finalist in the Sustainability Initiative of the Year category for its S.E.E. scheme. Considering social, economic and environmental factors, S.E.E has been designed to go above and beyond standard policies and accreditations such as ISO:14001.
In 2021, after being shortlisted in three categories, UAP went on to be crowned Covid Business Hero of the year. The award recognised the team’s quick response to the pandemic, including the production of its own PPE which was later donated to local hospices and other businesses.
