The Fabrick Office project was last night victorious in the BCO North Awards: Best Fit Out of Workplace. Everyone involved is delighted, and it is great to get official recognition for what we think is a great scheme!

Apparently the rivals included Media City, ITV, Northern Rail, Manchester Airport & 1 Angel Sq, so pretty impressive competition!

The scheme will automatically go forward for the National Awards.

It was a good night for our Toffee Factory project at Newcastle Civic Centre on Friday where the RICS North East Renaissance Awards were announced.

Entered for three awards the building, which provides ‘move on’ office space for creative sector businesses in Newcastle’s Ouseburn, triumphed in the Regeneration category and was commended in both the Design and Innovation and the Commercial categories. To top the night off the building then took the overall Project of the Year award.      

It’s always nice to get recognition for the hard work that a team puts into making a project happen so congratulations to everyone involved, you know who you are!
