Anna Scothern, Executive Director of the NHIC, said “This year the judges were overwhelmed with the quality and quantity of entries and we were pleased to be able to award the special George Plucknett Award. This special award which recognises a project or company that most closely fulfils the objectives of the NHIC (to assist in consumer protection through sound standards of quality and safety in the delivery of home improvement) is not awarded every year and Amicus Horizon, through their customer-centred approach and on the ground delivery, impressed the judges.”

NHIC President Baroness Maddock said “These awards, first introduced in 1974, continue to help raise the profile of the many inspirational initiatives that are characteristic of our nation’s ingenuity in the field of housing.”
