Finalists announced for 2015 Structural Timber Awards

The awards have been submitted and the judges have spoken - it is now time to announce the shortlist for the inaugural Structural Timber Awards.

With over 160 entries across 14 categories, this year's awards have been packed full of outstanding, pioneering projects, products and people.

The winners will be presented at a high profile dinner, taking place on Tuesday 06 October 2015 at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), Birmingham as part of UK Construction Week.

This year's awards will attract over 500 national business leaders and high profile decision makers from the construction industry and will provide a significant platform for targeting the timber industry. They will also present the ideal opportunity for professionals to maximise industry exposure and penetrate this economically important market.

Each of the judges have assessed three of the 14 categories on a strict and confidential marking system to establish the award category winners, highly commended and shortlisted entries.
