THE FIRST InstallAwards took place on the evening of 12 June in the shadow of Wembley Stadium. While across the world Brazil were battling it out with Croatia in the opening match of the FIFA World Cup, the assembled crowd at the Hilton London Wembley were concerned with matters closer to home – who would win the InstallAwards for teamwork,
