Info

With 100% “good” or “excellent” guest feedback ratings in 2013, 75% of respondents considered the event as “better than those similar to it” and a “must attend”. 9. Best Supporting Company Homes for Scotland’s associate members play a vital role in supporting the home building industry. Their contribution to our work is highly valued, facilitating and increasing our strength and credibility as we seek the industry’s growth and success. This award has been specifically designed to celebrate that support. Entries are invited from associate member companies (whether professional or contractor/supplier) providing a summary of the role their company has played either in relation to particular projects or best practice initiatives of wider benefit to the general industry/housing sector. These should be supported by testimonials. Nominations are also invited from home builders for those companies they particularly wish to see recognised. Entries for this category should relate to the period 1 January 2013 to 31 January 2014 with relevant dates noted in the submission. In addition to the requirements set out under “Entries” on page 9, submissions may also be supported by up to five images which best illustrate/represent the submission. Other Awards The following awards are not open to member submissions but will also be announced on Friday 16 May: • Home Builder of the Year In addition to the previously listed categories, we will also be continuing our prestigious Home Builder of the Year award. The judges will decide upon this award in 2014, picking the company which has stood out the most through its submissions in categories 1-8 above. Home builders keen to be recognised for this award should therefore aim to submit quality submissions in as many categories as possible. • Lifetime Achievement Our recognition of the individuals who have made a special contribution to championing the aims of the home building industry in Scotland continues in 2014 with the HFS Executive Committee deciding on the worthy winner of this award.
