2024 ProCon Awards seek best new buildings

The 2024 ProCon Awards are seeking the best new buildings and other construction projects in Leicestershire and Rutland, plus a first winner of a new category for a rising star of the industry.

Entry for the 21st annual ProCon Awards is open and again free of charge, with a closing date of July 3. Finalists and winners will be celebrated at a ceremony on November 14 at Leicester City’s King Power Stadium.

Tickets for the event sold out in under a minute, guaranteeing a full house of 620 attendees. There are tables of ten tickets held back for businesses keen to sponsor one of the categories still available.

There are eight categories, covering residential and non-residential schemes of various sizes, regeneration and the new Rising Star category for those making a trailblazing start to their property and construction careers.

ProCon chair Umesh Desai said: “The moment the ceremony tickets go on sale is always exciting for ProCon, and to see the tickets fly out again shows tremendous backing for ProCon and for the Awards.

“It starts our Awards calendar in great style, and now we look forward to seeing which projects – and this year, people – are nominated. Every year produces a great crop which shows how vibrant our industry is.

“Thanks to everyone who bought tickets. And our thanks also go, as always, to our sponsors. It is their support for the ProCon Awards which makes the whole celebration possible in such great style.”

The 2024 ProCon Awards are already backed by two corporate sponsors: Salus and Unique Window Systems. The Leicester Mercury’s Business Live is the media partner.

Stuart Power and Paul Meadows, directors at Salus (Building Control & Fire Safety Consultants), said: “At Salus we’re looking forward to celebrating the 21st ProCon Leicestershire Awards, in a year we are also celebrating our own 21st anniversary.

“We have been supporting ProCon for most of this milestone. We are proud and pleased to once more be a corporate sponsor of this prodigious celebration of our industry.”

Sunil Patel, director at Window Systems, said: “We have been enthusiastic supporters of the ProCon Leicestershire Awards for many years and are delighted that Unique Window Systems is once again a proud sponsor of this prestigious showcase.

“Every year the ProCon Awards provide a wonderful opportunity for our industry to celebrate the many innovative and high quality projects that improve the built environment we all share. We look forward with great anticipation to saluting another excellent group of finalist and winning projects in 2024.”
