The East Midlands fbe (Forum for the Built Environment) has unveiled the names of the shortlisted finalists who are in the running to receive an accolade at the organisation’s annual awards ceremony.
The winners of the

are expected to attend the fourth
annual East Midlands Awards evening at the City Rooms, Leicester.
“Once again, we had
some outstanding entries for the East Midlands fbe Awards. The number
and standard of entries continues to grow each year, making the judges’ job
more difficult,” said Jef
Todd, regional chairman of the property, development and construction
professionals’ group.
The awards,
sponsored by civil and structural engineering company BSP Consulting,
construction firm North Midland Construction, civil engineering firm M-EC
Consulting Development Engineers, and accountants Duncan & Toplis, reward the
whole team on the project, as this reflects what fbe is all about … working
with like-minded professionals.
