When people think about the Trades Awards, they usually picture the night itself.

The room, the atmosphere, everyone coming together to celebrate the industry.

What people don’t always see is what makes it all happen in the first place. It’s the support behind the scenes, starting with the sponsorship.

More Than Just an Awards Night

The Trades Awards is not just a dinner or a ceremony. It’s one of the few opportunities each year where the entire construction industry in the North of Scotland comes together.

From apprentices and tradespeople, to SMEs, consultants and Tier 1 contractors, it’s a room that reflects the industry as it really is.

Keeping the Event Accessible

One of the most important things about the Trades Awards is that it has always been accessible to businesses of all sizes.

For over 10 years, we’ve kept ticket prices at a level that allows: • Smaller businesses to attend • Apprentices to experience the industry • Teams to come together and be recognised

The event only works because of sponsorship. Without the support of sponsors, the event would look very different.

Backing Your Industry

Sponsorship is not just about branding or visibility. It’s about backing the industry you are part of.

It’s about: • Recognising the people behind the projects • Supporting future talent • Celebrating the standards and values that matter

For many businesses, it’s a chance to take a visible role in shaping the industry, not just operating within it.

A Room Full of Opportunity

On the night itself, sponsorship gives you a slightly different experience. You’re a really important part of the evening. Sitting alongside other businesses, catching up with people you might not see from one month to the next, and showing your support for the industry.

It’s a really great environment to build relationships, because everyone in the room is there for the same reason.

Why Businesses Choose to Sponsor

Businesses get involved with the Trades Awards for all sorts of reasons. For some, it’s about visibility. Raising their profile, strengthening their brand, and being seen alongside other respected names in the industry.

For others, it’s about giving something back. Supporting the next generation, recognising the people doing the work, and being part of something bigger than their own business. In reality, most find it ends up being a bit of both.

Be Part of It

The Trades Awards is built on the people who take part, and the businesses who get behind it. Without that support, the event just wouldn’t be what it is today. With it, we’re able to keep growing, evolving, and most importantly, bringing the industry together year after year.
