As Business Link’s East Midlands Bricks Awards 2025 draws ever-nearer, East Midlands Chamber has highlighted the opportunity it provides to “showcase the people and firms that are to thank for shaping how our urban spaces and architecture will be seen for future generations.”
With nominations closing on Friday 15th August, it’s time to make your free entries for the 10th annual celebration of the property and construction industry.
Take this chance to spotlight exceptional new commercial and residential developments, those demonstrating a leading position in sustainability and design excellence; gain recognition as outstanding developers, architects, contractors, and agents, as well as for significant deals; and ensure efforts in corporate social responsibility are rewarded, from eco initiatives to charity work, to social value schemes.
East Midlands Chamber Chief Executive Scott Knowles said: “Property and construction are significant drivers of growth and despite having had to overcome tough challenges like higher National Insurance contributions or the skills shortage making recruitment hard, the East Midlands can be proud of the impressive scale of modernisation to our towns and cities.
“Whether Nottingham’s Island Quarter, Derby’s Castleward Urban Village, Leicester’s Waterside or Ashton Green projects, you don’t have to look far to see progress. The Bricks Awards showcase the people and firms that are to thank for shaping how our urban spaces and architecture will be seen for future generations and it’s right we recognise that work.”
A key event in the business calendar, the East Midlands Bricks Awards 2025 will take place on Thursday 2nd October, at the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground.
Revealing the winners in a glittering awards ceremony, the evening also offers time to establish new connections with property and construction professionals from across the region and hear from keynote speaker Councillor Nadine Peatfield – Leader of Derby City Council, Cabinet Member for City Centre, Regeneration, Strategy and Policy, and Deputy Mayor of the East Midlands.
