The CECA Southern Annual Lunch & Awards Event will take place on Friday 28 June 2024 from 12 noon – 16:30 at The Brewery, Chiswell Street, London EC1Y 4SD. Our flagship networking event will bring together over 400 people for the biggest networking event of the CECA Southern calendar.
We are again looking to celebrate those that do such great work within their organisations in making our industry successful. Providing the opportunity to host colleagues and clients, the Annual Lunch will include the presentation of the CECA Southern Awards – showcasing some of our remarkable people that will include both the new rising stars as well as those that have already been shining a positive but sometimes unrecognised light on our industry.
We will again be hosting the NextGen CECA Southern Foundations Group that have done so many great things in outreaching to future generations. At the event, we will also be formally launching a storybook that the NextGen group have produced for young school children.
Our chosen charity is the Construction Youth Trust, a charity aimed at inspiring and enabling young people to overcome barriers and discover a career in the construction and built environment sector. We look forward to raising lots of money for the Trust!
Our guest speaker will be announced shortly.
You can book tables of 10 to 12 and there is also the option to book individual tickets for those not wishing to take a full table.
Members can book tickets for the Lunch by completing and returning the Booking Form.
