EMEC has announced that it is to be one of the category sponsors at the 2024 East Midlands Bricks Awards
Now in its 7th year, the Bricks are an independent awards and publicity programme organised by East Midlands Business Link Magazine with impartial judges. This year EMEC is sponsoring the “Contractor of the Year” category.
Dr Ed Tripp, Consultancy Director at EMEC said: “EMEC is the go to Environmental Consultancy based within the region, for ecology, biodiversity and land management services. EMEC decided to sponsor Contractor of the Year in order to contribute to rewarding exciting and innovative approaches to sustainable development.”
Adding he said “As a wholly owned subsidiary of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, all profits are gift aided to the Trust to support nature conservation, and sustainability is at the heart of our core beliefs. Since Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) legislation became mandatory in February 2024, new developments will need to deliver a minimum 10% BNG and its never been more important for Contractors and Ecologists to work together for the benefit of the natural environment.
“Our top advice for any contractors looking to submit an application is to showcase a nature/ecology first approach to their development schemes. We firmly understand the need for new developments in order to drive the economy forward, but we will be looking for contractors who are showcasing an innovative approach to embracing sustainability. Our role as the consultant ecologist is as much about protecting habitats as it is about offering added value advice to the developer so that the communities they create, incorporate diversity.”
Shining a light on the region’s property and construction industry, this year’s event will take place on Thursday 3rd October 2024, at the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground.
The awards celebrate the outstanding work of those shaping the landscape of our region, recognising development projects and people in commercial and public building across the East Midlands – from offices, industrial and residential, through to community projects such as leisure schemes and schools.
