Sales Director at Reynaers Paul Duffy said: “Reynaers is a keen supporter of innovation in the construction industry and these awards will recognise the very best people involved in the design and implementation of building façades.
“We look forward to seeing outstanding designs across each of the three categories.”
Competition organiser Graham Hackley said: “We are incredibly happy that Reynaers has supported us to highlight the skills and vision that are creating the best of these projects.
