About us
We praise local homebuilders for improving our communities.
The Cowgills North West Homebuilder Awards is the event for small to medium sized homebuilders to come together to celebrate and recognise the excellent work that takes place to meet the country’s growing need for new homes.
THE AWARDS
Awards done differently.
The first of its kind – not just in the North West – but in the UK. Specifically acknowledging the hard work being undertaken by SMEs to meet the region’s housing requirements.
All categories are open exclusively for entry by SMEs with the awards focusing on the work being completed by homebuilders and developers in the North West.
To maintain the integrity of the awards, sponsors and judges are not eligible to enter an award.

The Event
Created to recognise and promote the fantastic work that North West SME homebuilders complete.
The evening is completely different to the traditional black tie and dinner event, taking a more casual and exciting approach with really good quality food and laid back festival vibes.
Held at the iconic Albert Hall, we have some incredible entertainment including Angela Scanlon who will be hosting the event! You might recognise her as a TV presenter, who hosted Robot Wars with Dara Ó Briain and more recently came sixth on Strictly Come Dancing!
Tickets are no longer on sale for this event.
