UKREiiF Announces Shortlist for UKREiiF Festival of Achievement Posted on: May 4th, 2023 The shortlist has been revealed for the UKREiiF Festival of Achievement – with nominated individuals and companies revealed for the awards.Following the first day of UKREiiF (16th May) over 800 people will gather at a unique awards ceremony in Millennium Square, overlooked by the incredible Leeds Civic Hall. The event is looking to shake up the awards scene – binning the traditional sit down meals with black tie and cocktail dress attire, instead bringing a vibrant and refreshing feel to the event. Alongside award announcements tickets will get delegates access to fairground games such as the coconut shy and hoopla, rides like the carousel and a ferris wheel, and entertainment including live music, a caricaturist and magician. Attendees will also get a token to choose from a variety of pop-up food vendors…with choices ranging from the traditional fish and chips to pizza, Mexican and dirty donuts.So who’s got their name in the hat as potential winners?Nominated IndividualsNet Zero Pioneer of the YearLizzy Westmacott – ECD Architects Daniel Ross – Harley Haddow Matthew Pygott – Hydrock Dave Hughes – Fuse Architects Chris Clarke – Scape Group Tani Dulay – Woodbourne Group Chris Taylor – Mosodi Neelum Choudhury – RivingtonHark Emma Hoskyn – JLLEDI Champion of the YearDara Jafari – MGAC Katie Horton – CBRE Chithra Marsh – Buttress Architects Samer Bagaeen – Arcadis Sarah Draper – Rider Levett Bucknall Janet Baker – The Woodfield Pavilion Rebecca Clarke – Stantec Penny Fitzpatrick – Fuse ArchitectsFuture Trailblazer of the YearMichael Blake – Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Dan Robinson – VirginLand by Ringley Annette Jezierska – The Future Fox Jamie Harris – Harris AssociatesSpirit of UKREiiF AwardDarren Rodwell – London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Phyllis Agbo – Stories Gerard Toplass – The 55 Group Chris Peacock – London Borough of Lambeth Lauren Hunt and Louisa Shaw – Staffordshire County Council Jen Hartley – Invest Newcastle Jason Longhurst – UK Business Council for Sustainable DevelopmentPublic Sector Impact Award – Sponsored by Tile HillGail Mayhew – BCP FuturePlaces Megan Carter – Portsmouth City Council Deborah Cadman OBE – Birmingham City Council Nicolle Ndiweni – Invest in Nottingham Michael Blake – Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Michelle Percy – Newcastle City CouncilGraduate of the YearEmily Lipscombe – Rider Levett Bucknall Siobhan McGlynn – Brookbanks Sanha Iqbal – C80 Group Zuzanna Bialkowska – Hydrock Courtney Littlechild – Goram Homes Tarisiro Fundira – Mott MacDonaldTop Apprentice of the YearEmily Walker – Rider Levett Bucknall Emily Berridge – Browne Jacobson Jake Hall – Scarborough Group International Anneliese Webb – Colliers Kobe Lyon – Make Happen GroupPeople and Skills Torchbearer of the Year – Sponsored by DominusZoe Brooke – Save Construction Initiative Mark Thompson – Ryder Architects Lee Holmes – DB3 Group Catriona Gray – CDA Pooja Agrawal – Public Practice Lucinda Yeadon – CEGNominated CompaniesInvestment Company of the YearWimmer Family Office Resonance Legal and General Housing Growth PartnershipDeveloper of the Year – Sponsored by StantecCharles Street Buildings Queensberry Harworth Fabrix Barberry HBD Woodbourne Group Dominus Muse Related ArgentLaw Practice of the Year – Sponsored by First Title InsuranceIrwin Mitchell Shoosmiths Bevan Brittan CMS Ward Hadaway Mills and Reeve JMW Solicitors Eversheds SutherlandAgent of the YearBidwells Bond Land Harris AssociatesConsultancy of the YearCurtins DB3 Group Fulkers Bailey Russell Deloitte Hive Land and Planning Hydrock Inner Circle Consulting Mott MacDonald WSP WatermanContractor of the Year – Sponsored by Perfect CircleWates Readie Construction John Sisk and Son McLaren ConstructionArchitect of the YearTODD Architects MCAU Chapman Taylor AHR SMR Architects Grimshaw Child Graddon Lewis GT3 Architects Cartwright Pickard The Fairhurst Design GroupThe judging panel was made up of key contributors to the UKREiiF Advisory Group.For more details visit: https://www.ukreiif.com/event/ukreiif-annual-event-2023/#tab-awards-festival
