Nominations are OPEN until Friday 15th August for East Midlands Business Link’s 10th annual Bricks Awards, shining a light on the region’s property and construction industry. With 10 categories available to enter, the occasion offers a prime forum to showcase outstanding businesses, teams and projects.
One category at the prestigious event is Developer of the Year, which can be entered here. It’s completely free to submit a nomination and making the top three finalists in your category also wins you free tickets to the awards ceremony.
The winner of this category will be the developer that has truly pushed the limit over the last 12 months. Their scheme(s) will have shown to not only be a success, but that there was true demand for them. The winning developer will have displayed courage in a tough market to deliver award winning results.
Last year the award was won by Vistry Group East Midlands, with Indurent and Wavensmere Homes runners up. Upon winning, Conor Garvey, associate land director at Vistry North East Midlands, said: “We were absolutely thrilled to win Developer of the Year at this year’s Bricks. The event was fantastic with a real buzz about it and gave us a great opportunity to meet fellow businesspeople from across the region. Being announced as the winner in our category was just the icing on the cake and a testament to the continued hard work by my colleagues throughout the business.”
With this year’s Developer of the Year award sponsored by Devello, founder Shruti Trivedi said: “We are delighted to again be supporting the Bricks Awards with other notable local businesses. Last year’s event was invaluable in helping to establish our new company amongst our peers who share our vision of providing outstanding client service in a forward-thinking, innovative manner.
“We are looking forward to catching up with our co-sponsors, last year’s winners and this year’s nominees at the 2025 Bricks Awards, to celebrate those within the industry who are making a notable contribution and delivering exceptional results.
“We know last year’s winners were delighted to receive this recognition and encourage anyone who has an exceptional project worthy of recognition to apply!”
