Nominations sought for Built Environment Conference awards

Bec

Nominations are now open for three prizes to be handed out at this year’s Lancashire Built Environment Conference, which returns on 25 September.

Taking place at Winter Gardens Blackpool, experts from across the industry will discuss updates from across the sector and the opportunities and challenges facing the county.

While exploring the projects, people and businesses powering Lancashire’s regeneration, the event’s organisers will honour this year’s difference-makers.

Stephen Bolton, managing director of Lancashire Business View which organises the annual conference, said: “The Built Environment Conference takes an in-depth look at a sector which has as much influence over the future of the county’s fortunes as any other.

“Alongside the debate, we also wanted to celebrate the industry’s achievements, and that’s why we’ve introduced these three awards. They are our way of highlighting what’s going on, giving due recognition to those making a difference, and inspiring others. We encourage property professionals to nominate themselves and their colleagues.”

Nominations are now open across three categories:

Property personality of the year

This special award recognises exceptional individuals within the built environment who have made significant contributions to the property sector in Lancashire. It not only recognises professional accomplishments but also commitment to ensuring a positive impact on the local community and economy. This award is a testament to the winner’s dedication, expertise, and the inspirational role they have played in the industry.

Rising star of the year

This award honours emerging talents who are making notable progress in the built environment. It recognises individuals for their promise, innovation, and dedication early in their careers, highlighting leadership potential and impactful contributions. This award celebrates those who bring fresh perspectives and position themselves as future leaders in the industry, encouraging continued growth and inspiration for others.

Property project of the year

This award celebrates exceptional property developments and projects that have positively impacted the county through design, innovation, and sustainability. Recognising both residential and commercial projects, it highlights those that contribute positively to the local economy and community. This accolade showcases the work of developers, architects, planners, professional services and all others that have enhanced Lancashire's landscape and set new standards for future projects.

Nominations should be sent to [email protected] with full details on who they are nominating and why they should win.

As well as covering crucial topics such as housing, investment, ESG, supply chains and more, this year’s event will also focus on the county’s big ticket projects including Eden Project Morecambe, Silicon Sands Blackpool, Station Gateway Preston, Blackburn’s masterplan and more.
