Building Excellence Awards 2009
Hosted by Local Authority Building Control, the fifth Building Excellence Awards took place last Thursday, in Bradford at The Holiday Inn, Tong Lane, where West Yorkshire’s most impressive construction developments and projects were honoured for their outstanding quality work and excellence in both design and construction. The lucky winners now go through to the national finals held in London later this year.
There were nine different categories ranging from restoration to sustainability and winners were presented with certificates and engraved cut glass crystal trophies.
Over 150 guests gathered at The Tong Hotel for these highly prestigious and much anticipated awards, which began with a drinks reception, followed by an impressive three course meal and entertainment for the evening from the incredibly funny, local comedian Mike Kelly
The awards were also followed by a fund raising raffle for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity which raised £1414,50.
Nicky de Whytell, West Yorkshire Air Ambulance Development Officer said ”The evening has been thoroughly enjoyable and a great success. We would like to thank everyone who attended the awards and for their generosity, the money raisedch will be a crucial donation and allow Yorkshire Air Ambulance to continue saving lives across the region.”
The event was sponsored by all local authorities, LABC and Yorkshire Air Ambulance, and Yorkshire Water,
