We’re delighted to reveal the shortlisted nominations for the CIH 2018 Housing Awards, sponsored by Radius Housing…
With the highest number of entries ever received for this annual housing industry showcase, shortlisting in each of the 11 different housing categories was an immensely challenging experience for the independent judging panel, working on behalf of CIH.
Dan Corr, chair of the judging panel, and former director of Nationwide NI, said that: “The annual CIH Housing Awards has grown enormously with every passing year, but the number of high quality nominations we received this year was unprecedented”.
“We are extremely grateful for the time and effort that all entrants took to submit their entries, under each of the 12 housing categories: the number of outstanding nominations we received this year demonstrates the strength of the housing industry across the island of Ireland. For this reason, while making the shortlist is, a magnificent achievement, merely submitting a high quality nomination is something that all nominating organisations should be proud of”.
For the second year in a row, the CIH housing awards 2018 will be held at the Titanic Belfast on 23 February 2018.
