Linda Cavender, Chief Executive, Trade Association Forum, said ‘Our job is increasingly difficult each year as the standard of entries gets ever higher. However, after lengthy debate, the Sifting Panel have compiled a strong list of finalists, all of which have entered some fantastic projects. We will be featuring many of these at our TA Best Practice Exchange in November later this year. Many congratulations to all the shortlisted members for their achievements thus far.’
