FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR LRWA AWARDS <strong>2024</strong>!<br />
CEO Sarah Spink says the shortlisted projects demonstrate “the versatility of liquids across a number of sectors and diverse<br />
applications”, and those attending the <strong>2024</strong> Awards & Gala Dinner on March 20th “are in for a treat.”<br />
The Liquid Roofing and Waterproofing<br />
Association (LRWA) has revealed the shortlist<br />
for its <strong>2024</strong> Awards & Gala Dinner.<br />
A total of 20 project finalists have been chosen<br />
across four categories. A panel of independent<br />
judges – including liquid waterproofing<br />
specialists, specifiers and contractors – reviewed<br />
all submissions anonymously to reveal the<br />
shortlist.<br />
The LRWA says the selection process was based<br />
on strict criteria, including project complexity,<br />
standard of workmanship, evidence of problem<br />
solving, and aesthetics. The names of the<br />
contractor and manufacturer in each entry were<br />
omitted prior to judging.<br />
The winners of each category will be announced<br />
at a gala dinner on Wednesday 20 March <strong>2024</strong> at<br />
the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool’s Stanley Dock. As<br />
well as a winner for each project category, there<br />
will be a highly commended award.<br />
As in previous years, the gala dinner will also<br />
recognise the talents of individuals, including<br />
awards for ‘Trainer of the Year’ and ‘Student of<br />
the Year’.<br />
The LRWA Awards is now in its sixth year and<br />
Sarah Spink, CEO of the LRWA has thanked<br />
headline sponsor Sika, and other membership<br />
support, and says <strong>2024</strong> is shaping up to be the<br />
biggest event yet.<br />
Sarah commented: “Every year we’ve seen the<br />
standard of entries become even higher, and this<br />
year has been no exception. The variety of<br />
projects shortlisted further demonstrates the<br />
versatility of liquids across a number of sectors<br />
and diverse applications.<br />
“Thanks to the backing of our generous sponsors,<br />
we can deliver another sell-out event that brings<br />
contractors, clients, manufacturers, and suppliers<br />
Sarah Spink, CEO<br />
