It’s time to enter the IBP Journalism Awards 2024
The 50th annual IBP Journalism Awards 2024 are now open for entries. These awards recognise the very best journalism in the property and construction sector and have become a benchmark for excellence.
They are judged by a panel of influential journalists and industry professionals drawn from the built environment. Winners of the journalist categories will be awarded £500 and the overall winner will be named IBP Journalist of the Year.
You can view the categories and submit your entry through our new awards website.
The deadline to enter is Friday 6 September 2024 and we encourage entries from any journalist or media brand writing about the built environment.
The award ceremony will take place on 21 November 2024 at The Building Centre in London.

Executive Board Message 2021
I think you will all agree that it has been quite a year, but hopefully we should see a return to something that is, if not normal, then closer to normal life as we begin to pick-up the pieces and engage with colleagues and face-to-face business challenges.
The lockdown has given the IBP executive board a chance to reflect and review where we are as a membership organisation, and to look at how we might want to shape the role of the organisation going forward.
The executive board has lots of ideas and you will hear more about these initiatives over the next months as we prepare for this year’s journalism awards. If you have any ideas that you would like to share with the board please let me know by email to: Harriett.Hindmarsh@aecom.com

Built environment comms professional? Stand out by learning the science behind the art of communications
Harriett Hindmarsh,
Chair of the Board for IBP and Vice President, Global Marketing and Communications at AECOM.
I’ve worked in the built environment industry as a communications professional for over 10 years and in that time I’ve seen the role evolve enormously.
The post-recession world is incredibly dynamic and demanding with more and more pressure on resource and the need to be accountable, and in my opinion as professionals we need to acknowledge the way the profession is changing.
Here are the major trends that you need be on top of if you want to thrive...
