Annual Lunch & Awards

CECA SOUTHERN LUNCH 2025

The CECA Southern Lunch & Awards Event will take place at The Brewery, London on Friday 27 June 2025. It is the region’s networking event of the year for contractors and not to be missed from both a personal and business perspective. This flagship event brings together over 400 people to celebrate the achievements both of our industry and the people who contribute so much to our success.

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.

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.

If you would like to attend, please contact Lucy Hudson.

To all looking to develop prosperous new relationships, or build on existing ones, share experience, entertain clients, or just have a great time, we sincerely hope that you join us.
