We were absolutely delighted to see our incredibly talented Em Hicking awarded Best Luxury Design at last night’s Designerati Awards North for her outstanding work on our Architecture of Luxury project in North Leeds.
The moment was made even more special as Em became a new Mummy just two months ago, making this her first industry event since welcoming her little one, so to see her recognised with such a prestigious award on her return was a truly proud moment.
Em joined Grid Thirteen as a graduate, and it feels like only yesterday we were talking about putting her forward as an emerging talent. Watching her evolve into an award-winning designer is a reminder of what can happen when talent is nurtured and given the opportunity to flourish.
Supporting the growth of our team has always been central to who we are, and moments like this make us immensely proud.
Congratulations, Em. Your creativity, dedication and passion continue to raise the bar, and we couldn’t be prouder to have you as part of the Grid Thirteen team.
A huge thank you to the lovely team at Westins for inviting us as your guests and for hosting such a fantastic evening. A special mention & congratulations to Ian on receiving his Industry Achievement Award - thoroughly deserved recognition.
It was a brilliant night at an incredible venue sat with fantastic company celebrating the very best of the industry and a great night for the Yorkshire corner!
