Held at the Athena in Leicester, Cawarden sponsored the ‘Contractor of the Year’ Award.

Dodd Group was crowned the winner – and the team was delighted to go up on stage to collect their well-deserved award from William. A full list of the winners can be found here. 

Almost 500 people joined the event which is held annually to celebrate achievements in the housing and construction industry. TV personality, actor, presenter, vocalist and professional speaker Des Coleman kept the audience entertained throughout the evening as the host of the awards. 

The event also helped to raise an amazing £43,000 for two fantastic charities, BulliesOut and FOCUS.

FOCUS
