The CFJ Awards finalists in all categories have now been selected as our independent judging panel completes its work.
Over the past few months, the judges comprising Richard Renouf, independent flooring consultant; Fiona Bowman, independent senior FM consultant; John Butler, flooring contractor extraordinaire; and Graeme Dewar, chartered surveyor, have been hard at work analysing and evaluating the best installations in the flooring industry over the past two years.
Dallas Burston Polo Club on the Stoneythorpe Estate, Southam, Warwickshire, is the new location for the awards which are due to be held on Friday 8 September. The event will start with a networking reception followed by a three-course meal after which the award winners will be announced in each category.
Meanwhile, comedian Justin Moorhouse has been named as the guest host for the awards.
