BiKBBI CEO, Damian Walters, commented ‘In 2021 we launched our first ever awards programme which proved very popular and the subsequent awards ceremony evening was a great success, providing solid foundations for us to build on. In year two, I am delighted to report that we have seen an increase in entries of around 25%.
Even more encouraging was the quality of each and every submission – such effort clearly demonstrates that an awards programme focused on installation has not only been welcomed but is being widely adopted by our sector. Awards are a great way to acknowledge and reward excellence and best practice, but they are also vital to improving standards and creating benchmarks in our industry.’
He continued ‘Well done to all those businesses and individuals announced as finalists. We are looking forward to the 2023 awards ceremony, when we will once again celebrate the efforts and achievements of our talented, hardworking industry.’
The winners of all eleven categories, along with the winner of the BiKBBI Special Recognition Award will be announced at an Awards ceremony at the prestigious QEII Centre in London’s Westminster on the evening of Tuesday 7 February 2023. Tickets for the 2023 BiKBBI Awards are now on sale now and can be purchased here. More information on the event and the awards programme can be found at www.bikbbi.org.uk/events.
