Winners of regional construction awards revealed
The winners of the 13th annual North West Regional Construction Awards were announced on Friday in Liverpool.
Over 400 guests attended the awards ceremony at the Titanic Warehouse and were hosted by the University of Salford and produced in partnership with Constructing Excellence.
Place North West was returning media partner for the North West Regional Construction Awards, with sister publication PlaceTech also an award sponsor.
Winners from the North West Awards will be put forward to the national Constructing Excellence Awards taking place in London in November 2019.
The awards celebrate best practice in the delivery of the homes, workplaces, hospitals, schools, universities and transport infrastructure.
Head judge Professor Peter McDermott from the University of Salford said: “These awards are a great source of evidence on best practice, on what works under what circumstances. This year, we were challenged and privileged in choosing winners from a series of fantastic entries. It was exceptional night which showcased exceptional work and talent. Well done to all of our winners and our finalists.”
