Judge Renee Mascari, owner of Mascari Design Solutions, and CEO of the kbbNTG, said ‘There was an amazing amount of real talent on display in this year’s entries, and those who made the shortlists can be rightly proud of their skills and expertise’.
The winners will be announced at the KBSA AGM, National Meeting and networking dinner being held at The Welcombe Hotel, Stratford on Avon, on 23rd September 2014.
Graham Ball, Chief Executive Officer, said ‘We are delighted that entries this year were almost double those received last year, despite members being rushed off their feet with increased business levels, leaving little time for activities such as these . I think this shows how important these Awards have now become for our members, and the PR associated with them is of tremendous value to them. It will showcase the excellence in design our members are proud to display, and I am looking forward to announcing this year’s winners in September’’.
