Susie judges the 20th Sussex Heritage Awards

This week Susie is out of the office visiting all the shortlisted projects for the 2018 Sussex Heritage Awards.

Susie, who is Director here at Pfeiffer Design, and previous winner of the Award, says:

“I’m delighted to be part of the Heritage awards which encourage and reward high quality design and innovation in conservation”.

The 2018 Sussex Heritage Trust Awards were launched at the award-winning Depot in Lewes on Tuesday 13^th February.   2018 marks the 20^th anniversary of the prestigious Awards scheme, designed to recognise and reward high quality conservation and restoration projects, good design of newly built projects and the use of traditional skills and crafts.

Depot in Lewes was the former Harvey’s Brewery depot site, which now houses an independent cinema and cafe.  The judging team in 2017 described the completed project as “of exceptional attention to detail in every respect.”  Harvey’s Brewery have been a long-term supporter of the Awards scheme and sponsored the launch event.

Chairman of Sussex Heritage Trust, Dr John Godfrey DL, said:

“To reach the 20^th year of the Sussex Heritage Trust Awards scheme demonstrates the continued importance of supporting Sussex-wide architectural and conservation projects.  We are indebted to our sponsors: Gatwick Airport, The Hans & Marit Rausing Charitable Trust, Savills, Lawson Commercial, RH & RW Clutton , The Ernest Kleinwort Charitable Trust, Pilbeam Construction, Harvey’s Brewery and all corporate Friends and supporters.”

The winners of the 2018 Sussex Heritage Trust Awards will be presented by the President of the Trust, Lord Egremont, on Wednesday 4 July at 12.30pm at Pangdean Old Barn, Pyecombe.

We wish the best of luck to all the shortlisted projects.
