I am delighted that the 14th World Plumbing Conference will be held in the UK. In addition to showcasing current and emerging technologies at InstallerSHOW the world’s top speakers will be presenting papers on Skills, Sustainability and Supply & Conservation. I’ve been overwhelmed with the immediate worldwide interest with a number of countries already committing to bringing large delegations to the Conference in June 2026.
