Nearly 200 construction companies and industry figures from across England and Wales gathered in The Midlands to celebrate outstanding contributions made to the built environment, and the high quality work and commitment delivered by NFB members across the regions.
Hosted by stand-up comedian Dominic Holland, the sixth annual awards ceremony took place at the prestigious and award-winning Belfry Hotel & Resort, which has become synonymous with golf and fantastic achievement. The awards followed an NFB golf tournament which took place earlier in the day.
