The awards will be presented by Naomi Cleaver at a glittering ceremony at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on Thursday 13th November 2008, but there's more to a Master Builder of the Year award than a day of glitz and glamour - it puts the spotlight on your business. In the last few issues of Master Builder magazine, we have brought you the stories of some of the 2007 Master Builder of the Year award category winners, each one of them has said that winning the award had a positive effect on their business.
The overall winner this year will again win up to £20,000 to spend on a Nissan LCV of their choice, the winner's client will win a £3,000 holiday and all category winners will receive luxury breaks for two at one of the Barcelo Hotels & Resorts (formerly the Paramount Group of hotels).
