Constructing Excellence Yorkshire and Humber Awards 2021 – What a night!

Share This:

Last Thursday we were finally able to welcome over 370 industry partners, sponsors and supporters to the 2021 Constructing Excellence Yorkshire and Humber Awards, held at New Dock Hall in Leeds. This year’s awards had a mardi gras theme and it was great to see so many people enjoying the carnival atmosphere, vibrant colours and the excellent entertainment provided by our band for the evening, The Sandhouse Stompers.

As always the standard of entries was incredibly high and there were no easy decisions for our judges. It was heartening to see that the challenges of the last eighteen months have not stopped our industry from producing great results and innovating to thrive. It really was another stand out year and we want to congratulate all those companies who made it to the finals. Our winners will now go on to compete at the National Constructing Excellence 2021 awards which will be held in January 2022.

Thanks to your generosity our event also raised over £2300 for this year’s chosen charity, The Lighthouse Club Yorkshire and Humber . This is a charity very close to all our hearts and who have provided much needed support to many in our industry throughout the pandemic. Our thanks to Kirstie Murray from Galliford Try who came and collected the cheque on the charities behalf as well as providing an extremely important & moving presentation on how your donations help them to support our industry.

We would like to thank all our suppliers who work tirelessly to bring our ideas to life; Cherry Venue Dressers, Big Purple Productions, Photogenick, Vibe Music and the team at the Royal Armouries who looked after us so  beautifully on the evening.

Thank you once again to our sponsors, without whose support we simply would not be able to put on an event of this quality and magnitude. Our aim is always to show off what our industry does well, promote positive transformation and set the bar for raising standards; goals we know that our partners share. Thanks in particular to our headline sponsor, Esh Construction, and to Stuart Leslie for his excellent speech on the night where he invited us all to give ourselves a round of applause for keeping going – amen to that!

Finally a massive thank you to you, the industry, for constantly pushing boundaries and delivering transformative work. You ARE our awards!

See you next year!

Tom, Donna and Liz

FREE WEBINAR: Managing Payment and Insolvency Risks – Practical Advice for Construction Companies

Share This:

Thursday 6th May 2021
10:00 to 11:00

Constructing Excellence Yorkshire and Humber are delighted to be partnering with Gosschalks Solicitors to bring you this very important and topical webinar on managing payment and insolvency risks.

Even before the impact of Covid-19, construction companies were exposed to significant risk from both upstream and downstream insolvencies. In the current climate prudent companies need to take all necessary steps to protect their position on payment and minimise their exposure in the event of a client or a sub-contractor/supplier going bust.

In order to help navigate the current economic climate, Gosschalks construction and insolvency teams will present an online seminar to consider the legal, contractual and practical steps which can be taken to protect against insolvency and payment risks.

The topics covered will include discussions on areas such as pay-when-paid clauses, payment cycles, retention of title issues and effective notices.”

Presenters for this seminar will be (pictured L-R), Matthew Fletcher, Abigail Milner, Sam Thompson, Steve Dillon and Will Buckenham.

Launching our #CEYH2020 Charity Appeal for Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice

Share This:

Every year we use the evening of our Constructing Excellence awards dinner to raise funds for a regional charity. Unfortunately as we are now moving our ceremony online due to COVID19, we have lost the opportunity to collect much needed funds in the room.

We are therefore launching an online campaign with the hope of raising the same, if not more, for this year’s charity, Wheatfields Hospice.

Many charities are suffering at the moment having had their shops closed and traditional fundraising activities curtailed so it is now even more important to support them to keep going. Hospices have had a signficant role to play in the pandemic, providing dignity, care, compassion and bereavement support to families, all while working under some very challenging conditions.

We have our own personal reasons for choosing Wheatfields, please visit our page to hear our story.

To donate, just click on the button above or at the link below. Donations can be made anonymously if you would prefer. Please add gift aid as it doesn’t cost you anything more and will add to the charity’s overall total.

We know that giving to charity is very much a personal decision but if everyone who has ever attended our dinner donated what they would normally do on the evening then we know we could reach our target. Every year we are always blown away by our network’s generosity. We thank you in advance for your support.
