Emerging Talent Awards now open

Nominations for the Emerging Talent Awards are now open and are open to those under the age of 40 and working for firms operating in the UK’s stone and hard surfaces industry.

These include, but are not limited to: building professionals (architects, interior designers etc), stonemasons, wholesalers/importers, fabricators, conservators, retailers, CNC machinery and tool specialists and others.

The Awards are about recognising and rewarding the achievements of those at the beginning of their career in the sector – as well as shining the spotlight on the organisations that are helping develop and foster the future of the industry. Whether in training or apprenticeship, sustainability or innovation, design or manufacturing, each nominated Emerging Talent will have demonstrated the ambition and success required to progress their career.

By nominating someone for the awards, not only will you help to acknowledge the current achievements of young people in the stone and hard surfaces sector, but you’ll be helping to encourage and inspire the next generation of industry leaders.

To nominate, you'll need to complete a form including some basic details about the individual you’re nominating, along with a headshot and short 250 word supporting statement. Once nominations have been received a shortlist will then be selected from which a panel of judges will decide the winners.

All nominations must be submitted by the end of January 2025, with winners being notified in March 2025. There is no limit on the number of nominations per company, however, previously shortlisted nominees are excluded.

The chosen winners will be presented with their award, along with a voucher to the value of £250, at The Stone Show & Hard Surfaces, May 7-9 at ExCeL, London.
