8build has been recognised for its commitment to Corporate Community Involvement (CCI), by winning the Heart of the City category of the prestigious 22nd Lord Mayor’s Dragon Awards.

8build was presented with the award by Lord Mayor Ian Luder at an award ceremony at the Mansion House in the City of London on 15th October 2009. Established in 1987 by the Lord Mayor Sir David Rowe-Ham, the Lord Mayor’s Dragon Awards (named after the mythical guardians of the City of London, which can be seen at the gates of the Square Mile financial district) is one of the oldest and most well-established schemes to reward companies and public offices across London for their Corporate Community Involvement initiatives, in six separate categories – Education, Economic Regeneration, Social Inclusion, Heart of the City, Lord Mayor’s Award and Volunteer of the Year.

8build beat off strong competition from 5 other entrants in the same category, including The Bank of New York Mellon and Badenoch Clark.

8build’s giving back initiative supports the local community by focusing on areas as maintaining health and safety for construction employees, providing good and equal work conditions for employees, contribution to the sustainability of the economy and environment, in addition to providing customer service.
