With the nomination deadline looming for the East Midlands Bricks Awards 2024, there are 10 categories open for entry, providing a perfect opportunity to shine a light on outstanding businesses, teams and projects at the annual event celebrating the region’s property and construction industry.
One such category is Sustainable Development of the Year, which can be entered here.
The winner of this category will be the scheme that has displayed a true commitment to sustainable development in the East Midlands, whether this be in an environmental development, social enterprise or a scheme which will benefit the region in other ways, so long as it benefits the future generation. Schemes must have been completed over the last 12 months.
Last year, HBD scooped the award, for Power Park, Nottingham, beating out stiff competition from Henry Brothers Construction (for SportPark Pavilion 4, Loughborough) and Elms Developments (for Elms Phase Two Ltd.).
Upon winning, Justin Sheldon, director and head of region, HBD, said: “If you don’t know the project it was the old Imperial Tobacco factory where we recycled well over 90% of the material from the demolition – it was 1m sq ft so we had quite a lot of material to work with. I started on the project in 2016 and we completed April this year, so it’s great to get this.”
With this year’s Sustainable Development of the Year award once again sponsored by Viridis Building Services, a spokesperson for the company said: “Viridis are proud to sponsor the Sustainable Development of the Year award for another year. We have promoted this award for the past few years due to our own values as a team and how these fit in with those.
“It allows us the opportunity to review innovative ideas, solutions, and developments in and around the East Midlands. We are passionate about sustainability and are proud to see that others have the same ethos as ourselves with their entries.
“We believe being involved in this award allows us to further promote these pragmatic design solutions to create new relationships to present to others what can be done – to hopefully create an even more innovative sustainable future through places and spaces.
“We are excited to see this year’s entries, as we are every year, and look forward to presenting the winner of this award. We feel that the Bricks is an opportunity to bring everyone in the area together to celebrate our achievements and promote our works to create a bigger and better East Midlands.”
