Property and construction professionals from across the region gathered last night (Thursday 2nd October) at the famous Trent Bridge Cricket Ground for Business Link Magazine’s 10th annual East Midlands Bricks Awards.
Recognising and celebrating those behind the changing landscape of our region, rewarding the very best companies, teams and individuals, the event offered the perfect opportunity to showcase the outstanding work carried out across the East Midlands over the past year and network with many of the region’s industry leaders over nibbles and complementary drinks sponsored by Wood Moore & Co.
Attendees also heard 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, who kicked off the event with the keynote speech.
