New talent coming out of the North West region
In the annual Construction Development Alliance (CDA), an organisation which recognises the rising stars and the next generation coming up through the building and design ranks, has this year announced its five winners from across the North West.
The winners are:-
Martin Clegg from Rossendale – Young Designer
Sam Wilson from Rochdale – Young Construction Professional
Ben Cooper from Lancaster – Young Construction Environmentalist
Kyle Catterall from Blackburn – Young Construction Apprentice
Daniel Atkinson from Preston – Overcoming Adversity
The winners will be officially recognised this week on 21st May at Wednesday’s Awards Ceremony at Burnley Mechanics which Sika is delighted to be the main sponsor. Channel 4’s George Clarke, architect and presenter of Restoration Man and George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces, will host the Awards which kicks-off at 7.00pm, with a gala dinner and ceremony.
George Clarke said: “Many young people today face the reality of unemployment, or the uncertainty of which career path to take, so we developed the Awards to illustrate the opportunities available with construction and to also recognise the wealth of young talent coming out of our colleges and universities.”
Rod Benson, Business Unit Manager for Roofing said: “What the CDA does is vital in highlighting the construction and property industry’s contribution, as well as illustrating the wealth of talent coming out of our colleges and universities and Sika feels passionate about supporting these Awards.”
