The closing date for entries into the prestigious annual Marshalls Register Awards is fast approaching on 12 September 2014.

The competition held by Marshalls is open to all Marshalls Register contractors nationally and is an opportunity for the company to celebrate the work of its members, as well as for its assured contractors to showcase their best projects to customers and fellow landscaping professionals.

For the first time, selected Register members will be invited to judge the regional entries, along with Marshalls Regional Assessors. The results will be announced at the Marshalls Register road shows held later this year.

Regional award winners who make the national short list will form part of the judging panel for the national awards held in early 2015 and will be eligible to vote for projects, excluding those in their own category.

To enter into the 2014 Marshalls Register awards, members should contact their Marshalls Regional Assessor or Territory Sales Manager to obtain an entryform, accompanied by at least five quality digital photographs of their project.

All projects submitted must have been undertaken and completed in the period from 1st September 2013 – 31st August 2014. 

The 11 categories in the 2014 Marshalls Register Awards are as follows:

  • Best Patio Transformation over 35m2

The overall winner of the awards will be crowned ‘Marshalls Contractor of the Year’ and receive a brand new Toyota Hilux truck.

Last year Steve Smith of Shore Landscapes, West Sussex was crowned ‘Marshalls Contractor of the Year 2013’ for his stunning garden patio makeover in Marshalls Fairstone Natural Slate paving which scooped the category top prize for ‘Best Patio Transformation under 35m2’.

Marshalls Register Operations Manager David Jessop said: “At Marshalls we love our annual awards because it gives us the opportunity to celebrate the incredible skill of our Register Members.

“So if you have a project which you think would fit into one of our categories make sure you get it into us before the 12th September, you never know you could be in with the chance of winning a brand new Toyota Hilux truck.”
