With the East Midlands Bricks Awards set to be bigger and better than ever this year, there’s also a grand prize worth £20,000 on offer.
Celebrating the region’s property and construction industry, the prestigious event recognises development projects, businesses, and people in commercial and public building – from office, industrial and residential schemes, through to community projects such as leisure schemes, schools and public spaces.
We also highlight the work of architects, agencies and those behind large schemes – and the Overall Winner at the event, sponsored by SEV, will be awarded a year of marketing/publicity with Business Link worth £20,000, with the opportunity to split or gift the marketing to a charity of your choice.
A highlight in the business calendar, winners will be revealed at the East Midlands Bricks Awards’ 10th annual awards ceremony on Thursday 2nd October, at the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground – an evening of celebration and networking with property and construction professionals from across the East Midlands.
Attendees will also hear from Councillor Nadine Peatfield – Leader of Derby City Council, Cabinet Member for City Centre, Regeneration, Strategy and Policy, and Deputy Mayor of the East Midlands, our keynote speaker.
