This year its nominated projects have been short-listed in the following categories; Best Volume Housebuilder (2 shortlisted projects), Best Refurbishment Project (2 shortlisted projects), Best Public Housing Development (2 shortlisted projects), Best Public Building, Best International Project and Innovative Use of Brick & Clay Products.

Alison Adderley, Baggeridge’s commercial manager, says, "We are proud of the quality and range of work that has been built using our products and the achievement of reaching the awards’ short-list is testament to that.

“We are very much looking forward to the final which takes place in November and are confident that we will continue to build on this success in the future.”
