Leicester builder best in Britain
An amazing transformation of a run of the mill 1960s house in a village near Leicester into a light-filled 5-bedroom contemporary cedar-clad family home, won Ellis & Hughes the title of Master Builder of the Year 2008.
The Leicester firm beat the best of Britain’s builders from every corner of the UK, all of whom had been nominated by their clients for the first class quality of their craftsmanship and customer service. In this national competition, organised by the Federation of Master Builders in association with Nissan, Ellis & Hughes also win the Nissan Light Commercial Vehicle of their choice worth up to £20,000.
The national award winners were:
The winners were presented with their Awards by Naomi Cleaver, presenter of C4 Grand Designs Trade Secrets at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on Thursday 13th November in front of over 500 guests.
The Awards are organised across eleven regions, and with stiff competition in every category, winning a regional award is a significant achievement in itself. We congratulate all those who fought off tough competition to triumph in their region and we also thank our regional judges who travelled hundreds of miles to inspect these projects and to select the very best to go forward to the national finals.
The FMB congratulates all the winners.
We also thank Nissan, the principal partner of the Master Builder of the Year Awards and all our category partners, without whose generous support these Awards would not be possible.
