Buildings across the North have been recognised for excellence in the BCO Regional Awards 2011. The winners of the BCO North of England, North Wales and Northern Ireland Regional Awards were announced last night at a prestigious ceremony held at the Radisson Edwardian Manchester.

Winning the category for best Corporate Workplace was the GRAHAM Group HQ Building which provides some of the most environmentally friendly office space in Northern Ireland. The offices, just south of Belfast, were recognised for their design incorporating a commitment to sustainable construction, making the building recognised by many as one of Northern Ireland's greenest workplaces. In addition to its environmentally friendly design, the building offers employees a stylish and flexible open plan office design, with refreshment facilities positioned to encourage interaction among employees.

Other awards went to offices in Manchester, Wakefield, Leeds and Sheffield.

Tony Hordon, Director of Business Space, DTZ, and BCO Judging Chair for the North of England, North Wales and Northern Ireland, said: "The focus of the BCO Awards is to judge buildings from a multi-disciplinary point of view, focussing on aspects such as architectural flair, economic and sustainable construction with fitness for purpose for users of the space. We had a very high standard of entries this year that have really delivered fantastic workspaces for the end user and I'd like to congratulate our winners."
