G4C Yorkshire & Humber Award Winners!

The G4C Awards 2021 took place on Friday 1st October and the New Dock Hall in Leeds. We welcomed all guests with some live music and a glass of prosecco. The evening began with speeches from the Chair of G4C Yorkshire and the Humber, Lydia McGuinness, who was once again overwhelmed with the attendance and nominations for the awards. She introduced our host for the evening…Mark ‘Clemmie’ Clemmit of BBC Football.

The night had it all; from basketball games with bottles of bubbly for the winners, to a performance from a local dance group, and capped off with a fun casino.

On an occasion designed to celebrate the youth of construction, it was fitting that the room was so full of energy and excitement. It was fantastic to see so many nominees present, with the support of their colleagues and the cheer of the room when each name was called. G4C provides a platform for all the fantastic work that happens, and is proud to be able to reward the individuals who continually strive to make a positive contribution to our industry.
