Isuzu has renewed its partnership with the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) Master Builder Awards 2025. Taking the position of Headline Sponsor, the partnership marks the fourth collaboration between Isuzu and the FMB since their initial partnership in 2019, demonstrating a strong relationship rooted in shared values of craftsmanship, durability, and reliability.

The Master Builder Awards highlight the skills and achievements of UK tradespeople, celebrating construction projects of all sizes, from small home renovations to large-scale commercial builds. This year, the top prize for the “Master Builder of the Year” will once again be a new Isuzu D-Max pickup, underscoring Isuzu’s commitment to the construction sector and its support for small and medium-sized building firms.

Applications for the 2025 awards opened on 29th October 2024, with FMB members eligible to participate at no additional cost as part of their membership benefits. The deadline for entries is 10th January 2025.

The awards ceremony is set to take place at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester on 26th September 2025. Hosted by TV presenter Nick Knowles, the event will reveal the Master Builder of the Year, who will drive away in an Isuzu D-Max.

“We’re thrilled to once again team up with the Federation of Master Builders for their 2025 Master Builder Awards,” explained George Wallis, head of marketing at Isuzu UK. “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!”

Brian Berry, chief executive at the Federation of Master Builders, added: “It’s fantastic to once again be partnering with Isuzu, and for the fourth time running they are recognising the hard work and dedication that goes into being a Master Builder with an amazing prize of a new D-Max pick-up. We’re looking forward to seeing another great builder win the ultimate prize, and we wish all of our members the best of luck.”

With a focus on exceptional service and craftsmanship, the Master Builder Awards underscore the dedication and quality that Isuzu seeks to support through its ongoing relationship with the FMB.
