About this event
The FMB Cymru Master Builder Awards ceremony, sponsored by Development Bank of Wales, will be held on Friday 4 April 2025 at Voco St. David's Cardiff.
Join us as we announce all of the category winners from Wales, who will then go on to compete as finalists at the UK ceremony in September 2025. UK finalists will have a chance to win a brand-new Isuzu Pick Up truck worth £42k thanks to our headline sponsor Isuzu, which is providing this amazing prize!
The event will bring the SME building community together to celebrate the achievements of Master Builders across Wales. As well as the opportunity for an evening of first-class industry networking with fellow members, guests will enjoy a three-course meal and a welcome drink on arrival.
