NFB Awards 2019 open for entry

January 23, 2019

Be recognised for the contributions you make to the UK construction industry

The awards event will take place on Thursday 4 April 2019, at the prestigious and award-winning Belfry Hotel and Resort located in the Midlands.

The National Federation of Builders (NFB) has launched its eighth annual awards to celebrate the high quality work and commitment delivered by members to improve the built environment.

The awards reflect the dynamic nature of the construction industry and provide a unique opportunity for NFB members to showcase and be recognised for their work.

Commenting on the awards, NFB chief executive Richard Beresford said: “We are delighted to offer NFB members the chance to be recognised for the contributions they make to the UK construction industry.

“We are thrilled to again celebrate experience, enthusiasm, creativity, and skill across the industry as we pay homage to both individuals and teams who work seamlessly together. In past years entrants have shown us that, despite well-publicised obstacles relating to planning, procurement, skills shortages, and late payment, the delivery of excellence can still be achieved without compromise.”

This year, two award categories are open to the industry so entry is not restricted to NFB members; the Inspirational Individual Award and Training Programme of the Year Award. In addition, a Construction Employer of the Year category allows employees can nominate the company that they work for.

Entries will be accepted for projects completed between January 2017 and December 2018.

All categories are £30 + VAT to enter with the exception of Construction Employer of the Year which is free to enter. All categories are free to enter for A – C band members of the NFB. Entry closes at midnight on Friday 15 February 2019, and finalists will be announced week commencing 4 March 2019. Application packs and further information can be found here.

For further information please contact the NFB on 03450 578 160 or email awards@builders.org.uk.
