TV's Restoration Man supports local construction awards

The Construction Development Alliance has announced the Channel 4's George Clarke will host its 2014 awards.

“The CDA was set up to fulfil a growing need for local businesses, in the property and construction sectors, to showcase the quality of services that can be offered in the area,” said Reid Lewis, chair of the CDA.

George added: “The support and development of our apprentices is a fundamental part of the industry’s future success and I’m pleased to have been asked to be part of something that helps young people progress and pursue their ambitions.”

Throughout the evening funds will be raised for the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, which provides educational group-works that challenge the prejudice and intolerance towards people from alternative subcultures. The individual awards are also sponsored by a number of the CDA members and this year’s main sponsor is Sika Limited – a manufacturer of products and solutions for the construction industry with offices and manufacturing facilities in Preston. Whilst recognising the achievements of the area’s young people, the event also offers a great networking opportunity for local businesses within the construction and property sectors, as well as schools, colleges and universities, who are encouraged to support the awards.
