It might have past you by, but last Monday was meant to be the most depressing day of the year. You might not have noticed because the mood in construction is very positive right now. But we need to harness the optimism and channel it in the right manner – which means working collaboratively to ensure our projects are world class.

It also means not being afraid to showcase the great organisations and schemes being delivered throughout Wales – in the media, online and of course, via the CEW Awards in 2015. The awards are always one of the biggest events in the construction calendar. This year they are earlier than normal, on 12 June 2015, at the SWALEC Stadium, Cardiff (because we had to make way for the Ashes series opener) and it is sold out every year.

The winners are selected across 11 categories and go on to compete in the National Constructing Excellence Awards, held every year in the autumn, and each of the categories has an opportunity for sponsorship. So if you do not want to enter the awards, you can support us as a sponsor as we have a range of options, with packages starting at £2,500 and going to £10,000 as a supporter of the main event. 

If you want to find out more about how you can become involved with the award then call Susan Selkirk on 02920 493322 or why not attend one of our drop in sessions to learn more. Today’s event at Swansea was really busy, so put the next Wednesday in your diary and come in and see us at our offices in Longcross Court.
