We are pleased to announce that two of our projects have been shortlisted in the Seventh National Federation of Building (NFB) Awards.

The awards celebrate experience, enthusiasm, creativity, and skill across the industry and acknowledge both individuals and teams who work seamlessly together.

The projects shortlisted are:

• New Build Project of the Year: The Beacon, University of Hull
• Collaboration of the Year: Barnsley Markets
• Refurbishment of the Year: Barnsley Markets

This year, we received a record amount of entries and the process of creating a shortlist has been tough and involved much deliberation. Our panel of expert judges usually aim to select a maximum of three finalists for each category, but in some cases they felt that the calibre of submissions was so high that more ought to be recognised for their excellence. However, on the night, there can only be one winner for each of the awards.

This year we are delighted to sponsor the Site of the Year award, with all winners announced at the ceremony on Thursday 4 April.
