Homes for Scotland's tireless work on behalf of members across a wide range of policy areas was reflected in our 2013 Awards, themed around the 4 “P’s of people, process, product and partnership.
With another record number of entries received again this year, our independent judging panel certainly had a very tough job in deciding upon the winners which were announced at our Annual Lunch and Awards on Friday 17 May at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
Continuing to place guests right at the very heart of proceedings, the record crowd of 800 guests used our special electronic voting system to decide who deserved the accolade of Home Builder of the Year as well as giving us their views on some key policy issues of importance to the industry.
A number of sponsorship opportunities to compliment a range of budget and marketing objectives are now available for our 2014 Annual Lunch & Awards. Click here for further information.
