Recognising approved centre achievements – introducing LCL - The Awards
27 Mar 2024
As part of our 20th anniversary celebrations, we are launching LCL - The Awards, an opportunity to shine a light on some of our excellent centres and the brilliant work they do across building services engineering training. Without our centres, we would not be where we are today, so it seems fitting that they take centre stage in this special year.
The LCL ‘Awards’ ceremony will take place the night before our annual forum, on the 4th July at the Hilton Hotel in Leicester. Part of our usual pre-forum meal and drinks, we hope this will be a fun addition to the evening.
You can book rooms for the hotel at a preferential rate for LCL Awards guests, here
Open to our approved centres, you can enter as many categories as you like. We encourage you to also supply any supporting evidence – pictures, videos, case studies, whatever you feel helps demonstrate your centre’s achievements.
Please send all entries to jess@jellopr.co.uk.
The deadline for entries is 4th June.
