Steve Webb, event director for Interbuild said: "Interbuild has always been regarded within the industry as the perfect place to introduce new ideas, and we feel it is only right to give them a greater profile. That's why we have devised a scheme to promote the new products before and during the event - including an Awards Dinner on Monday April 28 at the Birmingham Metropole at which the best will be officially recognized."
The closing date for entries to the Awards scheme is Friday November 28 and a distinguished panel of independent judges will meet in January to draw up a short-list of contenders. The New Product Awards is not the only scheme being promoted at that time because the winners of the 'Master Builder of the Year' scheme, run by the Federation of Master Builders, will also be unveiled during Interbuild.
