The Trades Awards has announced its list of finalists for 2022.
The Trades Awards celebrate individuals, teams, and companies across all disciplines within construction, helping to highlight their varied work across the north of Scotland.
The awards ceremony has taken place online for the last two years due to Covid-19, but it still continued to bring together hundreds of virtual guests to each digital event.
This year, the black-tie event will be taking place in-person at Ardoe House Hotel on Friday October 28, with over 400 guests from across the construction industry expected to attend.
Pauline Fraser will return as host of the awards for a fourth year, alongside STV presenter and journalist Norman MacLeod.
Range of categories
There are fourteen award categories in total, open to businesses of all sizes.
A selection of this year’s business nominees includes Morrice Plant Hire in the best new business award category, Frasers of Ellon for the outstanding customer service award and Annie Kenyon Developments for construction project of the year.
Individuals are also highlighted in a range of award categories at the awards such as apprentice of the year and tradesperson of the year.
There will also be a special award for outstanding contribution, with the winner being suggested by the judging panel and revealed on the night.
The 2022 event welcomes back main sponsor Stewart Milne Group for the eighth consecutive year and supporting sponsor W M Donald for the sixth year.
