Building the Future Awards 2025 Sponsored By Wickes:
Going National to Empower the Next Generation of Leaders

Now, wherever you are—London, Belfast, Edinburgh, or Cardiff—you can nominate yourself or someone you admire for the Building the Future Awards 2025.

Our mission is simple but essential: to inspire young talent and promote construction as a forward-thinking, impactful industry.
