Sandwell Homes has been shortlisted for a prestigious
sustainable housing award by Inside Housing, the UK's leading
weekly magazine for housing professionals in the UK.
The 'Corporate Sustainability Award' recognises Sandwell Homes
work in greening its supply chain whilst also engaging residents
through an eco-friendly community project.
Winning companies will be presented with a trophy and
certificate at a suitably "eco" themed awards ceremony at the
Hilton Hotel in London's Park Lane on Friday 21st October.
Nick Duxbury, editor of Inside Housing's supplement magazine
'Sustainable', said: 'Now in their fourth year, the Sustainable
Housing Awards 2011 have been inundated with entries from the
leading green organisations, featuring the most innovative and
impressive projects in the UK.
"It is a fantastic achievement for Sandwell Homes to be
shortlisted in the face of such fierce competition. We are thrilled
to be able to host an awards ceremony that recognises the housing
sector's sustainable pioneers."
Last year nearly 600 people attended the event, which was hosted
by comedian Mark Watson, and in 2009 Jon Snow was the master of
ceremonies. This year's event will be hosted by comedian, actor and
keen climate change campaigner Marcus Brigstocke.
