Installation specialists become finalists at Facilities Management Awards

Certified Pro Installs Ltd has been named a finalist for FM Project of the Year at the Facilities Management Awards 2026 (Ireland), recognising the company’s delivery of a large-scale LED lighting upgrade programme across more than 240 retail locations throughout the UK and Ireland.

The Facilities Management Awards recognise excellence, innovation, and leadership across the facilities management sector, celebrating organisations that demonstrate outstanding achievement in operational efficiency, workplace optimisation, compliance management, and sustainable facilities practices.

Certified Pro Installs earned the finalist position following the successful completion of a six-month programme replacing outdated halide and fluorescent lighting systems with modern energy-efficient LED fittings across the retailer’s estate.

The project delivered energy savings exceeding 40 per cent, alongside a reduction of approximately 680 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

To ensure minimal disruption to store operations, installation engineers worked primarily during evening hours, allowing retail locations to continue trading as normal.

At the same time, the Certified Pro Installs administrative team coordinated the extensive planning, logistics, and permits required to deliver the programme efficiently across hundreds of sites.

Chris Bagnall (pictured) from Certified Pro Installs, said: “Recognition for the team and their efforts is always appreciated, especially in what was a challenging year for many. 

“We have the best retail FM team in the business across directly employed administration and engineers in my humble opinion. 

“Best of luck to all entrants Facilities Management Awards.”
