We are delighted to announce the shortlist for the Generation4Change Awards 2026, supported by headline sponsor Caddick Construction. Many congratulations to all those who have made it this far and good luck at the award ceremony taking place at the Hilton NewcastleGateshead Hotel on Friday 1st May.
Twenty Twenty Six has seen a record number of entries reflecting on the high calibre of talent in our region. We commiserate with everyone who wasn’t successful and hope that you will submit again in the future, sometimes nominations are just that little too early. Feedback can be provided to enhance on your future entry, please request this from Leanne.
G4C North East and Tees Valley would also like to extend our enormous thanks to our category sponsors; Bowmer+Kirkland, Northumbrian Water Group, Northern Counties Builders Federation, Castle and our headline sponsor Caddick Construction, for their support. We would also like to thank our drinks reception sponsor RED Engineering.
We are grateful to our team of judges who commented that this was the hardest year so far to decide on the shortlist never mind the overall winners!
If you haven’t already booked your place at the awards ceremony, please contact Leanne by emailing leanne@cene.org.uk to request a copy of the booking form.
We will be showcasing our ‘red & black’ theme once again at the awards ceremony on May 1st.
