Havwoods at the epicentre of British interior design
On 23rd October, at the iconic Draper’s Hall in London, colleagues from our Marketing and Business Development teams were proud to attend the British Institute of Interior Design Awards for the fourth consecutive year as headline sponsors. This incredible event brings together some of the most talented designers from across the UK, celebrating creativity, innovation and the spaces that shape how we live and work.
We are always thrilled to be such an integral part of this annual celebration of British design talent and take the opportunity to celebrate our partnership with the BIID alongside the incredible 43 projects shortlisted across 8 regional categories, plus the Anna Whitehead Prize for Sustainability.
This year, the most prestigious award of the day, the Interior of the Year award was won by Kate Bingham Design for Taymouth Castle, a Neo-Gothic listed Castle in the Scottish Highlands that was extensively restored and redesigned as an ultra-luxury Members' Club.
As Paul Moody our Global Marketing and Digital Director said, "Havwoods returning as headline sponsor of the BIID Awards really does reflect our ongoing commitment to the UK interior design community. We’re extremely proud to work with the BIID and, over the last four years we’ve seen the awards grow and evolve into an integral and hugely inspiring part of the UK design scene."
"Although we’re primarily a supplier with years of experience curating premium wood surfaces, we also see ourselves as a design partner for our clients," Paul continues. "Much of our product development is driven by requests from within the design and build industry, and our teams are passionate about working hand-in-hand with clients to help them achieve their exact ambitions and aspirations. Our involvement with the BIID keeps Havwoods at the epicentre of British interior design and closely connected to what the community wants and needs."
"Our approach has always been innovative and design-led – it’s been that way for the last fifty years. Many of our clients have worked with us for decades because they trust the lasting quality and advanced engineering of our products. We have a remarkable heritage dating back to the 1970’s, but Havwoods is equally about looking ahead – sourcing timber responsibly and staying at the forefront of emerging trends. Being part of the BIID Awards is a key and exciting moment in our annual calendar and keeps us connected to the heart of British design."
