CEDA has published the names of the dealers shortlisted in this year’s Grand Prix Awards ahead of its annual conference on May 4th.
The original list of entries has been whittled down to 21 projects across six categories, and industry judges Bev Puxley and Peter Wintle will now have two weeks to select their winners.
Both judges will visit the relevant sites and base their decision on a marking system that scores the projects based on their difficulty, design, installation, resources, training, health and safety, sustainability, after-sales and client satisfaction.
