Builder named 'Master Builder of the Year' by the largest trade association in the UK building industry, the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) has received the keys to a £20K Nissan Navara as his prize.

Kevin Ellis of Ellis and Hughes in Leicester beat the cream of Britain's builders to be crowned the Best Builder in Britain for his amazing transformation of a run of the mill 1960s house into a stunning, light-filled contemporary family home.


Kevin was presented with his brand new Nissan Navara at Sturgess Nissan in Leicester by Paul Gozzard Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) Fleet Sales Manager for Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd and Chris Sturgess, Chairman of Sturgess. Derek Bostock, FMB National Vice President and John Watson, FMB Regional Director were also present to see Kevin receive his prize.

To be considered for an award, the builder must be nominated by a highly satisfied client. The winner receives a Nissan Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) of his choice.

The client also receives a £3,000 holiday of their choice.
