Leeds tradespeople shine with two wins at the Checkatrade Regional Awards

Checkatrade, the UK’s leading home improvement platform, has announced two Leeds businesses as award winners at the Checkatrade Regional Awards. The Checkatrade North, Scotland and Northern Ireland awards were celebrating outstanding tradespeople from across these regions.
- Gianne Merriman of GM Heating Ltd in Leeds was crowned Sustainability Champion
- Lori Griffiths of Regent House Property Maintenance Limited in Leeds was named Woman in Trade Champion
The Checkatrade Awards have been created to shine a spotlight on tradespeople who go above and beyond for their customers. Winners are selected not only for their craftsmanship but also for their commitment to professionalism, reliability, and helping homeowners feel confident when choosing a trade.
The Checkatrade Regional Awards for the North, Scotland & Northern Ireland took place on 30 October at Leeds United Football Club in Leeds.

Emma Grant, Head of Trade Engagement at Checkatrade, said: “The Checkatrade Awards are all about celebrating the pride and effort our members put into their work, and shining a light on their achievements. It’s fantastic to see so much talent coming from Leeds. We’re proud to have backed trades for over 25 years, and even prouder to shine a light on standout work like this.”
The Checkatrade Awards will culminate in a national final at Wembley Stadium on 19 November 2025where category winners from all of the regional events across the UK will come together for the ultimate celebration of trade excellence.
