We bring journalists and communications professionals together through events like the annual Awards and the Summer Party, creating opportunities to build relationships and discuss the issues shaping the built environment. Our supporters also help us pursue our wider ambitions. Through the annual paid summer internship programme, IBP helps open doors for new and under-represented talent looking to build careers in built environment journalism, PR and content creation. ### **Why our supporters get involved** Backing IBP reflects a commitment to recognising the role journalism and communications play in the built environment, as well as to developing the people behind them. Martin Hurn, Event Director of Futurebuild, explained*:* *“Futurebuild has been a longstanding supporter of the IBP because nurturing and recognising strong journalistic skills is integral to shaping a more sustainable built environment. Accountability, authenticity and advocacy are at the heart of driving progress and we need bold reporting to seek out the truths that help us all learn and lean into greater transparency.* *“We're proud to champion future talent across all pockets of the industry - especially those that have such a bearing on the green building agenda.”* ### **Supporting excellence in built environment journalism** For more than 50 years, the annual IBP awards have recognised outstanding journalism across the industry. This year’s awards span nine categories, recognising journalism and podcasting across architecture, construction, housing, property and infrastructure. Journalist of the Year and Outstanding Contribution award provide further recognition for exceptional achievement. Daniel Cochlin, Global External Communications Director at Arcadis, explains why the company supports the awards. He said: "*Specialist, expert journalism is critical in the built environment sector, and Arcadis is delighted to support the IBP Journalism Awards to celebrate the vast talent and dedication in the industry. In an era of fake news and social media innuendo, proper journalism matters, and every year the Awards recognise those journalists and media outlets who demonstrate the very best of standards*." Behind the awards is a judging panel made up of influential journalists and professionals from across the industry who volunteer their time and expertise to reviewing submissions. ### **Thank you to our supporters** Thank you to our 2026 supporters: AECOM, Arcadis, Barratt Redrow, Building Centre, Camargue, Cartwright, FTI Consulting, Futurebuild, LMC, Marley and Willmott Dixon. We are equally grateful to the volunteers who contribute their time and expertise throughout the year. Together, their support enables IBP to continue building a more connected and inclusive community across the built environment. **Want to be a part of the IBP community?** [Join here for free](https://ibp.org.uk/join-the-ibp) and [book your tickets](https://ibp-awards.evessiocloud.com/ibpawards2026/en/page/tickets) for this year’s awards. **Interested in becoming an IBP supporter?** Contact IBP board member [Andy Walker](mailto:awalker@fidic.org) to find out more. ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fibp.org.uk%2Fnews%2Fcelebrating-the-organisations](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fibp.org.uk%2Fnews%2Fcelebrating-the-organisations) ## Keep reading ### [![](https://ibp.org.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_7496.jpeg?width=4032&height=3024&name=IMG_7496.jpeg) AI and the Fourth Estate: IBP summer party tackles Journalism’s biggest question](https://ibp.org.uk/news/tackling-journalisms-biggest-question) ### [![](https://ibp.org.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/David%20Taylor%20-%20IBP%20President%202026.png?width=1200&height=628&name=David%20Taylor%20-%20IBP%20President%202026.png) David Taylor to lead IBP with focus on AI and the built environment](https://ibp.org.uk/news/david-taylor-2026-president) [![logo\_purple](https://ibp.org.uk/hubfs/logo_purple.svg "logo_purple")](http:///) - [Home](https://ibp.org.uk) - [Join our community](https://ibp.org.uk/join-the-ibp) - [Contact](https://ibp.org.uk/contact-us) - [Privacy policy](https://ibp.org.uk/privacy-policy) - [Terms and conditions](https://ibp.org.uk/terms-and-conditions) --- ©IBP 2026.
