KEY TAKEAWAYS

• To ensure all size firms are in with a chance of winning, splitting each award into 3 categories – micro, small and large would give everyone a chance to win. Including very small firms who also do good work.
• Picking up an award provides a big boost for everyone who works in the company.
• Awards do encourage companies to push up their standards.
• Creating an award for the digital space, if done right should help to get more information about tackling damp online and accessible to everyone.

BEST MOMENTS

“I´ve looked at the categories and realised just how unfair they were for smaller companies.”

“But they are making little pin steps.”

“I don´t get this thing about inventiveness, it´s f**king social media!”
