Trade Body Awards Launched for Building Preservation
Building preservation trade body the Property Care Association (PCA) has launched its first ever awards programme.
Members of the PCA - which represents the UK's structural waterproofing, wood preservation, damp-proofing, flood remediation and structural maintenance sectors - are being urged to prepare their entries now in time for the 15 December 2008 deadline.
An independent panel will judge the entries - consisting of Peter Darling, a freelance technical journalist, Ian Davis, Operations Director of the National House-Building Council, and Simon van der Byl, Director General of the Quarry Products Association.
The awards are exclusively open to members of the PCA, which incorporates the British Wood Preserving and Damp-Proofing Association (BWPDA). PCA contractor, consultant, surveyor and manufacturer members are all urged to take part.
There are three categories covering innovation, sustainability and training.
The PCA's traditional accolades for Technician of the Year, as well as Student of the Year awards for both the Certificated Surveyor in Structural Waterproofing qualification (CSSW) and Remedial Treatment (CSRT) will also be presented at the Birmingham ceremony.
No entry is required for the CSRT and CSSW Student of the Year, or the Technician of the Year category, as students will automatically be assessed internally by the relevant PCA training professionals and judges.
Yasmin Chopin, executive director of the PCA, said: "The awards celebrate the professionalism and technical expertise of PCA members and present a great opportunity to put their businesses on the map."
The PCA has developed a form with full details of how to enter. To receive the document contact eleana@property-care.org or telephone 0870 121 6737.
The awards ceremony takes place at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel on March 20, 2009.

Notes To Editors
The Property Care Association (PCA) - has been in existence for four years, as part of the British Wood Preserving and Damp-proofing Association (BWPDA) but in 2006 officially became an independent association, along with the Wood Protection Association. The new Associations have been created to concentrate on their own areas of expertise - namely for the Property Care Association structural waterproofing, wood preservation, damp-proofing, flood remediation and structural maintenance. Although a relatively new trade body, the Property Care Association has inherited the stability and professional strengths of the BWPDA and its 75 year history.
