Applauding the achievements of the region’s property and construction industry, the East Midlands Bricks Awards are back for 2025, and now is your chance to showcase outstanding businesses and projects by submitting an entry for the esteemed event.
The annual celebration, now in its 10th year, shines the spotlight on those behind the changing landscape of the East Midlands, highlighting development projects, businesses, and people in commercial and public building across the region – from office, industrial and residential schemes, through to community projects such as leisure schemes and schools.
It also toasts the work of architects, agencies, and those behind large schemes, with categories including Contractor of the Year, Developer of the Year, Architects of the Year, Most Active Agent, Deal of the Year, Residential Development of the Year, Sustainable Development of the Year, Commercial Development of the Year, Excellence in Design, Responsible Business of the Year, and Overall Winner.
Providing an ideal opportunity to showcase achievements, recognise teams, boost morale, and reach our audience of over 60,000 business readers, the East Midlands Bricks Awards are completely free to enter, and making the top three finalists in your category will win you free tickets to the annual awards ceremony.
Winners will be revealed on Thursday 2nd October at Nottingham’s famous Trent Bridge Cricket Ground. Running from 4.30pm – 7.30pm, the evening will also provide opportunities to establish new connections with property and construction professionals from across the region over complementary drinks.
Reflecting on last year’s awards, Robert Maxey, partner at heb Surveyors, said: “It was an honour to take home the Deal of the Year award at the East Midlands Bricks Awards 2024, especially because the other nominees in the category were so strong! It was extremely pleasing to see recognition of our team’s efforts and the event provided a great boost to morale.
“Celebrating excellence in our region’s property and construction sector, and offering a great chance to catch up with local professionals, I’d encourage other businesses to get involved with an entry, to showcase your business and the impact it is making in the industry.”
