Steering Group
Steering Group
The Greater Lincolnshire Construction & Property Awards are made possible by the collective efforts of a steering group, representing the interests of local businesses and organisations in the industry.
Whilst the awards are organised by Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, we could not do it without the support of our fantastic steering group!
2022 is the fifth time this award show will take place, after the 2021 unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the impacts of Covid-19.
Below you can find more information about each member of the steering group and how their unique skills help us bring this annual ceremony to you!
