We are now taking entries for Master Builder of the Year 2010. These awards put the spotlight on Britain's best builders and FMB Director General, Richard Diment said: “This is the title that every builder aspires to. Past winners, be they regional or national, have all seen significant benefits in entering and the awards categories are designed to match the type of work that most small and medium sized building firms undertake.”
