The Structural Timber Awards is a celebration of innovation, best practice and expertise in timber technology. Taking place on 19 October 2016 at the National Conference Centre, Birmingham, the Awards will showcase innovative solutions and ground-breaking developments from across the UK timber industry.
With over 200 exemplary entries packed full of outstanding, pioneering projects, products and people received, this year’s Structural Timber Award judges have had an onerous job of shortlisting entries into each category.
