This will be the 13th year of the BWF Awards, which celebrate outstanding achievement, skills, and talent from across the UK woodworking and joinery sector.
Helen Hewitt, Chief Executive of the BWF, commented:
“Two years since our last Awards night and we’re delighted to be bringing the woodworking sector together once again to shine a spotlight on the inspiring technical innovation, creativity and efficiency that our sector consistently excels in. There are so many exciting and innovative entries this year and the judges had no easy task in making their shortlist selections.
“After a challenging 18 months, this is an important opportunity for us to celebrate the businesses within our sector who continue to push the boundaries in woodworking and joinery. I look forward to celebrating the success and outstanding achievements of all of our finalists, on what will be a fantastic evening.”
The winners will be announced at the BWF’s Annual Dinner which will take place at the Kimpton Fitzroy London Hotel, on Friday 26th November.
