Football in Berkshire is proud to announce TradeMark Windows as title partner for the 2025 Berkshire Football Awards.
The Woodley-based business has a long history of supporting grassroots sport in Berkshire, particularly across football, having been shirt sponsors at Maidenhead United and Wokingham & Emmbrook over the decades.
On confirming news of the partnership, Mark Ashwell, Managing Director TradeMark Windows & Conservatories said succinctly: “Our non-league football community is everything to me. Football in Berkshire is home.”
Football in Berkshire’s editor Tom Canning described the partnership as “a positive reinforcement of this event we put on every year.”
2025 will be the fourth at Double-Barrelled Brewery in Reading, with the decision to increase the size and scope of the annual awards paying off.
“Post-Covid, with the support of the local football community, we decided to ‘go big’ on the event and move it to a larger venue at Double-Barrelled Brewery in Reading. The brewery is a favourite venue of mine and their support has been invaluable,” Mr Canning said.
“Since we moved venue we’ve sold it out every year and we’ve increased the number of individual award sponsors culminating last year in having a sponsor for each one. Now with TradeMark taking on the title partnership, we are able to put on an even better event including an improved live stream.”
Naturally a partnership like this means additional funds for the event, with the live stream in particular getting bigger courtesy of FC Video – the team behind live coverage of Maidenhead United and Slough Town fixtures among others.
Canning said: “The money we raise from events like this ensure the sites continuation but also means we are able to work on other initiatives like ‘Hitting The Road’ – which after visiting Reading YMCA in March, we want to do several times a season, as well as doing what we can to support clubs in other ways.
“As well as TradeMark, we are very grateful to our individual award sponsors: Rural Pie Co, Lens Digital, Fox Beerhouse (Caversham), STAR – Supporters Trust at Reading, Procision Football Academy, Serious Sport, Cap ‘N’ Chino, Calibra Tree Surgeons, Massage Movements and the Non League Heroes Podcast.
“It really is the feel-good football night of the year in my humble opinion and this means we’ll be able to share it with even more people.”
Nominations for the 2025 awards are open until midday on Monday 26th May 2025 with 150 already received in the opening weeks. With 18 categories to choose from, there’s something for every unsung hero in the Berkshire game.
As well as a brand new Grounds Team of the Season award celebrating those men and women who get the pitch ready for action, there are categories for Volunteers, Players, Managers, Writers and Content Creators.
The two-month award nomination window culminates in the publication of the Long List and Short List at the end of May along with tickets for the awards presentation night at Double-Barrelled Brewery on Wednesday 18th June.
The event will be hosted by author and podcaster Paul Watson (Guardian Football Weekley, The Sweeper Podcast and Up Pohnpei! – his inspiring book on kick-starting football in Micronesia) and will be live streamed on the night.

The sort of details we love to see include things like player awards, goals, clean sheets and any other significant contributions to the footballing community – obviously within the 2024/25 season.
