Shortlist for Constructing Excellence North East awards announced

The finalists for the ninth Constructing Excellence North East awards have been announced.

The CENE awards were established to celebrate the successes of construction projects in the North East and to honour those working in the construction industry.

The ceremony see small and large businesses compete across 14 categories including Innovation, Integration, Value, Sustainability, Heritage and Young Achiever of the Year.

Winners will go on to compete in the National Constructing Excellence Awards, held in the Autumn.

CENE’s Chief Executive Catriona Lingwood said: “Every year, we are impressed with the standard of entries that we receive and this year’s entries have been no exception.

“The last few years have been incredibly tough for construction and these awards are a celebration of the great work that is still going on despite the tough economic climate.”

This year will be a significant one for Constructing Excellence North East as they celebrate their tenth year anniversary as the regional division of Constructing Excellence.

During the last ten years, the organisation has morphed from a part-funded body delivering the regional development agenda, to a fully sustainable organisation supporting the region’s build environment in their agenda for improvement.

This year’s ceremony will be held at the Newcastle Gosforth Marriot Hotel on May 10 and will be hosted by former BBC Look North news correspondent, Wendy Gibson.

Ian Storer, Director of Corepeople Recruitment, headline sponsor of the awards for the third year running, said: “These awards have built up a reputation as one of the must-attend events in the North East construction sector.

“It is a great opportunity to celebrate what is good about the industry, something which, with the current economic climate, is more important than ever.”
