The Trades Awards is an annual event aimed to recognise the hard working and humble people in the construction industry, whether it’s an apprentice or tradesperson, a supplier or a subcontractor, an individual or a business.

Scotia Homes have been involved with the Trades Awards for a number of years; sponsors, applicants, judges, however 2023 is a special year as we celebrate being Main Sponsors.

It has been great to see the Trades Awards grow over the years and Scotia, with the help of our co-sponsor WM Donald, are keen to continue the legacy of previous sponsors to makes this year’s awards even more successful.

We truly believe that we need to shout more about the amazing talent we have in the industry in the North East of Scotland, to acknowledge the dedication and resilience of our colleagues and inspire the future generation.
