30 Under 30: Celebrating the glazing industry’s rising stars

The FIT Show and glazing sector magazine, Windows Active, have announced the return of the 30 Under 30 campaign, designed to celebrate the rising stars of the fenestration industry.

Following its successful debut in 2023, this initiative once again aims to recognise and reward the next generation of industry leaders—those who are pushing boundaries, driving innovation, and making a real difference in their field.

From product design and development to marketing, HR, apprenticeships, installation, and management, applications are wanted in order to highlight the individuals who are excelling in all areas of fenestration. Whether they are fitters, innovators on the shop floor, trainees, managers, or directors, you are invited you to nominate the industry’s future leaders.

Nickie West, FIT Show Event Director, commented: “We’re thrilled to be bringing our 30 Under 30 campaign, in conjunction with Windows Active, back for FIT Show 2025 after its hugely successful debut at FIT Show 2023. We’re hoping to build on the success of the launch campaign, which saw a high number and broad mix of entries.

“FIT Show is proud to shine a spotlight on the next generation of superstars. We have long championed the importance of encouraging grassroots, attracting and nurturing new talent and helping to bridge the skills gap – this allows us to do just that!  I’m excited to see this year’s entries, and to announce and reward the final 30 at FIT Show 2025.”

Nominations close on 4 April 2025.
