As part of our 25th-anniversary review, we have confirmed a fully client-side judging panel for 2025.
The change sits alongside our refreshed categories and follows a governance update completed earlier this year. The aim is simple: maintain absolute independence and avoid any perceived conflicts. We consulted our sponsor judges in advance and they’re supportive of the move.
We now have 24 judges confirmed, bringing senior in-house perspectives from across the construction and built-environment sector. New faces for 2025 include:
- Helen Cooper, Head of Marketing, Altecnic
- Richard Halderthay, Director: Brand, Digital & Communications, Saint-Gobain UK & Ireland
- Michelle McNeill, Head of Marketing, Tobermore
- Liam Poole, Head of Marketing, Knauf
- Waheeza Tegally-McNair, Head of Marketing UK, James Hardie
- Luke Wilcox, Content Director, MAD//Fest
The panel will assess entries against published criteria, rewarding clear objectives, defined audiences, strong strategic choices and measurable outcomes. If you’re preparing a submission, our Writing a Winning Entry guide sets out exactly what judges look for and how to present your work.
Key dates
- Final deadline: Friday 19 September 2025
