Constructing Excellence in Wales (CEW) is set to hold its 20th anniversary awards dinner next month.
The event will bring together more than 500 leaders and professionals from the built environment across Wales, celebrating excellence, innovation and achievement across 14 award categories.
The awards dinner is due to take place at the Celtic Manor Resort, Newport, on June 12 from 6.15pm, and tables of 10 are available as well as individual places. Andrew Scott is headline sponsor, with R&M Williams sponsoring the drinks receptions.
CEO of CEW Catherine Griffith-Williams said:
“From outstanding projects and organisations to exceptional individuals, the CEW Awards continue to recognise the very best in Wales’ construction and built environment sector.
“This year’s shortlist reads as a roll-call of projects, people, and partnerships that set the standard for best practice, and our congratulations go to all of them.
