LCL The Awards & Annual Forum 2025!
14 Apr 2025
LCL “The Awards” is back in June 2025 - bigger, better and ready to celebrate excellence!
This prestigious event highlights the outstanding achievements of LCL Awards approved centres, showcasing the incredible work they do in building services engineering training; a great opportunity to recognise their dedication, innovation and commitment to supporting learners and the sector at large.
The LCL ‘Awards’ ceremony will take place on the evening of 26th June at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, as part of the pre-Forum social. The following day, we will host our Annual Forum in the same venue.
To ensure availability for all centres, spaces for the Awards Ceremony and Forum are limited to two people per centre - we will have a reserve list for additional guests, so watch this space!
We encourage attendees to "dress to impress" so dig out your glad rags and get ready to celebrate in style.
