JACKSON, MS -- The National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA) recognized Jeremy Barker of Bathmatic, a dedicated NTCA member from North Carolina with a Special Recognition Award during the NTCA and Tile Council of North America (TCNA) awards reception at Coverings 2025.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which devastated Western North Carolina, Barker stepped up to lead relief efforts. Using his own time, money and resources, he has continuously supported those affected by the disaster. His generosity and leadership have inspired others in the tile industry to join the cause, but the need for help remains. Scan the QR code for continued donations to his efforts.
"Jeremy’s commitment to helping his community during one of its darkest times is a true example of the spirit of the NTCA,” said Bart Bettiga, NTCA executive director. "We are honored to recognize his heroic efforts."
