Whether it’s a product that reduces environmental impact, a project designed to push the boundaries or people and companies recognised through wholesaler, installer or trainee awards, there are some outstanding contenders in the mix this year. The entries have now been judged, and what a strong shortlist we have as a result. Best of luck to all the people who have entered, and I hope you all have a great evening on June 9.
