The Worshipful Company of Tylers and Bricklayers encourages excellence in the tiling and bricklaying industries and has awards for outstanding tiling and brickwork, as well as for individuals training for NVQs and higher qualifications in the craft.

As part of its charitable work, the Company launched in 2023 a new Craft Bursary Scheme which is designed to provide financial support to deserving persons throughout the UK who are undertaking an approved form of craft training.  If selected as a beneficiary of the scheme, the successful candidates will each receive an award in the sum of £1,000. Full details and an application form can be found here.

The Company makes a number of awards as part of its historic commitment to encouraging the very highest levels of craftsmanship in bricklaying, roof slating and tiling and hard-surface wall and floor tiling with the Triennial Awards honouring the best examples in buildings completed within the previous three years inside the area bounded by the M25.  

We have now opened up the entries for the 2024 Triennial Awards.  You can find out more and download a nomination form, by clicking HERE  The winners of the 2021 Tylers and Bricklayers Triennial Awards were announced at an Awards ceremony held at Apothecaries’ Hall on Thursday 2 September 2021.
