Corbel Conservation Ltd
takes British Woodworking
Federation’s Heritage Project
of the Year Award
Corbel Conservation Ltd, based in Taunton, has won the British Woodworking
Federation’s (BWF) Heritage Project of the Year Award.
Sponsored by Remmers, the BWF’s Heritage Project of
the Year Award is now in its second year and recognises
excellence in a conservation, restoration or renovation
application.
The award was won in recognition of Corbel’s complex
repair and consolidation project at Toneworks, an industrial textile mill in Wellington, Somerset, which the judges
praised as a “high quality and complex restoration project
carried out in challenging conditions.”
Timothy Hayes, Joinery & Contracts Manager at Corbel
Conservation Ltd, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to
receive the Heritage Project of the Year Award this year.
Our work in repairing and consolidating Toneworks was
a fulfilling and unique project and we are delighted that
the judges recognised the skill of the team needed to
undertake such a complex project.”
Helen Hewitt, Chief Executive of the BWF, commented:
“Heritage projects require specialist skills and knowledge,
and this award strives to celebrate the very best achievements and projects in this unique space. Being the second
year that this award has run, it has been amazing to see
the number of high-quality entries that have come
through.
“Our sector has overcome a great deal this year, with
supply chain interruption as well as the increase in energy
costs and the continued skills shortage, and the BWF
Awards are a welcome opportunity to showcase the skill
and technical expertise in our sector.”
The prize was presented at a celebratory awards evening
at The Langham, London Hotel.
