@powerednowapp awarded our Plumber Awards 2026 National Winner a £1,000 holiday voucher. Louchavan Lemard chose to give it away. 💛

Having experienced homelessness and exploitation himself, Louchavan understands how one genuine opportunity can change someone’s direction.

He is now raising £10,000 to create structured work experience for young adults facing disadvantage and remove some of the practical barriers that can prevent them from taking part.

Powered Now backed his decision and has now contributed the full £1,000.

As our official Technology Partner, Powered Now helps trade businesses win the job, run it and get paid. This shows that its support for the trade goes far beyond software.

Watch Louchavan explain why this matters to him.

@danfossinstallerlife Denmark trip for the @heatinginstallerawards winners was something else, I had the op.to join it this year ri see it for myself!

Technical feedback will leave for experts, but from personal side it was something else to spend 4 days with Danfoss and Winners and actually have a chance to talk all things life, what’s going on the industry, what are everyone’s goals and what makes them wake up every day and go and not just go but excel and want to do more and better each day!

Also something stuck with when one of the winners said something along the lines ( we don’t have everything figured out in our industry that’s what I get involved in talks, trainings and collabs with companies to support in raising the standard, because we need to work together and figure it out together)

You all are inspiring in your own ways, and truly we have an industry made of passionate, inspiring people and I am grateful to be part of it!

I want the best for my customers, my team and the trades. That's why I filmed this.

I honestly believe being a tradesman is one of the hardest things you can do.

We are always having to educate ourselves on new things coming out. New regulations. New ways of doing things. In the heating game, we're always asking how we can reduce energy bills and heat a home better for less.

There is so much constant learning. Since I started learning about heat pumps, it has blown my mind how much you need to know. It is crazy.

And no one sees the time and effort that goes into it. The real long hours. We're on the tools, then we're picking up supplies early in the morning, then we're doing invoicing and quotes late at night. It is relentless.

There is so much going on in our heads that sometimes we can't think straight. Cashflow matters. Every job has variables we can't even see coming.

I'm not saying this for sympathy. Most people only see the finished job. They never see what sits behind it.

You wouldn't ask Tesco to take the VAT off. Tradesmen are real businesses too, and we deserve the same respect as any other business owner.

But here's why I'm telling you this.

Every home we work on matters to us. When you let us into your house, you trust us with something important. That's why we communicate clearly, quote properly and turn up when we say we will. It's why we never stop learning. We want you to feel safe in our hands.

Caring about the customer and caring about the trade go together. The more we respect our industry, the better the service you get.

If you work in the trades, I'd love to hear your story. What's made this feel like a hard industry for you?

It's time we all level up and stick together. #WingsSurrey #SurreyHeating #SurreyPlumbing #HeatPumps #TradesLife
