On the last day of September, on a day which started sunny and finished teeming with rain, a couple of the Ten-25 team were lucky enough to be swanning about at the Intercontinental Park Lane, pretending we’re quite used to suits and heels (and not wearing pyjamas from the waist down, you'll be pleased to know!)
The TTJ Awards have long been a staple of the timber industry social calendar and have always been enjoyable. But given the upheaval of the last few years and the general stress going on in the world, this year felt particularly special.
There was a real buzz in the air and the sense that people really valued being there, in person, catching up with old acquaintances and making new ones. Perhaps we become blasé about these sorts of events if we attend too many of them – and perhaps the events of the last two years, and the uncertainty and upheaval of the world around us today, gives us all a renewed appreciation for the company of our fellow humans, and an excuse to be joyous and celebrate together.
Hosted expertly by the hilarious and slightly outrageous Paul Sinha, the awards themselves were an excellent summary of the qualities held in highest regard by organisations and customers alike: excellent quality, genuine service, responsiveness, creativity and resilience.
Our heartfelt congratulations go to every nominee and of course to every winner. But we would like to raise a glass to the whole timber industry, which in the face of unprecedented challenge, still finds the energy, the innovation and the strength of character to keep evolving and growing, overcoming new obstacles and working together to find better solutions.
Our hats are off to you all.
