The National Home Improvement Council is proud to announce Quality Assured National Warranties as this year’s sponsors of the category ‘Delivering Community Benefit through Home Improvement’ at its 45th Annual Awards. This category is open to NHIC Members and non‐members who can demonstrate the real benefits to communities which home improvements can have. Entrants are asked to consider how their project, product or change in working practice improved living standards or generated enhanced community welfare and a positive sense of place.
“We are delighted to continue our sponsorship of the NHIC Awards this year which sees our 9th year of support. The awards are a key event in our calendar (QANW) because the NHIC and its members are committed to raising standards in the home improvement industry- something we share in common! We would encourage anyone with a project in mind to enter the awards. Good luck!” (Barrie Smith-Wright)
