The Rising Star 2017 award ceremony and drinks reception will take place during a reception on Wednesday 8 March on our stand at Ecobuild 2017 (stand number C145). Please do let us know you're coming by registering here.

This is a great opportunity for the industry to celebrate the success of everyone who has been nominated for this very special award over the past 5 years, so please do encourage colleagues to join us.

The reception will follow a seminar session at 4.30pm where past winners, highly-commended and judges will discuss "The next decade: How can we make sustainability in the built environment mainstream?" - you will have the opportunity to ask your questions of the panel.

The UK Green Building Council and PRP launched the Rising Star Award in 2013, in memory of Mel Starrs, a prominent built environment practitioner and Associate Director at PRP, who sadly passed away in 2012. The award is an opportunity to nominate a colleague or peer who has made a real difference to the sustainability agenda and shine a light on their achievements.

With thanks to our award partners, PRP and to Saint-Gobain for sponsoring the drinks reception.
