GLAZING SECTOR VOTES: JOHN FREDERICKS PLASTICS NAMED 2026 NATIONAL FENESTRATION AWARDS FINALIST IN FOUR CATEGORIES
Huddersfield-based trade fabricator John Fredericks Plastics has been officially shortlisted as a finalist in four major categories for the 2026 National Fenestration Awards (NFAs), kicking off a major voting campaign across the UK fenestration sector. Known for their signature Ultimate Collection and a long-standing commitment to Quality, Service, and Value for Money , the manufacturer is calling on its national installer network and trade peers for support after securing nominations for: • Fabricator/Manufacturer of the Year • PVC Fabricator of the Year • Aluminium Fabricator of the Year • Managing Director/Director of the Year (Mark Dicconson) This recognition marks a pivotal moment for the business. While long-established as a PVC-U super fabricator operating from an 80,000 sq. ft. site, the company has recently scaled up its aluminium division, moving into a dedicated 36,000 sq. ft. factory . This expansion has enabled a wider range of aluminium product offerings, including the launch of the Smart Systems range. These dual nominations for both PVC and Aluminium Fabricator of the Year highlight the successful

The announcement lands during a landmark year for the company, following its recent signing of a milestone 10-year exclusive profile supply agreement with VEKA/Halo. The fabricator has also launched the cutting-edge VEKA Omnia double- flush and double-rebated system into The Ultimate Collection, delivering sleek, aluminium-alternative aesthetics with thermal performance down to 0.85 W/m^2K. Mark Dicconson, Managing Director of John Fredericks Plastics Group—and NFA Finalist for Director of the Year—commented: “To be shortlisted across four distinct categories for the 2026 awards is an incredible honour for the entire business. It validates the immense hard work our factory, office, and logistics teams put in every single day, supporting our national network of installers. “Being nominated for both PVC and Aluminium Fabricator of the Year is particularly rewarding.
