hey say never meet your heroes, as they can disappoint you sometimes. The BMJ Industry Awards 2025 last month was definitely, categorically not one of those occasions. As the event has grown in eminence, so have our hosts. Lawrence Dallaglio OBE, one of the heroes of the England Rugby World Cup winning squad in 2003, is a big chap, both in stature and personality.


I think he was definitely my favourite so far, and he helped the event reach new heights. It’s not just down to the magnificence of the host of course, the talent, achievements and all-round fabulousness of the finalists and the winners ensured that the day was a real celebration.


We talk a lot about how to get new people interested in joining the sector, but it’s also important to recognise and applaud those who are already here, giving their all to the industry that they, and we, love. That’s what we aim to do with these awards.


Thank you to our partner, the Institute of Builders


Merchants, and to all our sponsors, Breedon, Brett Martin, Flex-R, Heidelberg Materials, Intact Software, Knauf UK, Knauf Insulation, K-Rend, Long Rake Spar, NMBS, Out-Do Marketing, Promat, Swish Building Products, Toolbank, Unilin Insulation, Wilson Brook, and Worcester Bosch.


Your support, all of you, entrants, sponsors and partners, is so very welcome.


It was a fabulous event, and I look forward to welcoming you all next September, when we can do it all over again.
