The 2021 INCA Awards culminated in a glittering black tie dinner and awards
ceremony held at the MacDonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham with around 200
guests in attendance.
This year’s event was made extra special not only by the fact that the
industry could at long last get together without the need for a computer screen
but also as it marked the 40th anniversary of INCA, the Insulated Render and
Cladding Association.
A full round up of the results including all winners and highly commended
projects from the event can be found in the INCA Winners 2021 Brochure.
“The INCA Awards presents the opportunity to showcase leading EWI projects
completed in 2020, an ideal platform to champion our industry, reinforce the
energy efficiency message and to re-cast the net for innovation in our combined
goal of improving the living standards for our planet for years to come,” said
Marcus Alcindor, INCA Chairman
The ceremony included a charity “Silent Auction” with all monies raised
going to Mencap to support the work
they do to help people with a learning disability, and their families and
carers. Thank you all for your generosity.
This year there were a number of new award categories added and, once again,
the number of entries didn’t disappoint. Each entry was judged on merit by an
expert judging panel of 4 with over 130 years of combined experience in the UK
External Wall Insulation marketplace.
“Every entry this year should be praised for the overall quality and
consistency, making the process of shortlisting, establishing a winner and
highly commended very difficult for the judges,” said Gary Peacey, of the Judging
Panel. “In some cases the winners were selected on fine technical margins. All
entries should be very proud of the aesthetic quality of this year’s projects
enabling the 2021 INCA Awards to showcase the quality of finish that can be
achieved. The flexibility and diversity of EWI and renders.”
After a short break work will start on the 2022 INCA Awards with categories
being announced and entries opening in the second quarter of next year. As ever
it will be based on projects completed during 2021.
