Local Government Chronicle Awards
Posted 19th March 2025
Sandwell House Project are excited to announce that we’ve been shortlisted for this years LGC Awards for “Small Team of the Year”.

The awards ceremony will take place in June at the prestigious JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel in London so therefore, ballgowns and suit jackets at the ready!
Wish us luck!!
