ER & DCR Excellence Awards postponed again until September 2021
The Electrical Review & Data Centre Review Excellence Awards are now scheduled to take place September 30, 2021.
Last year we confirmed that the Electrical Review and Data Centre Review Excellence Awards had been postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and while the event is still going ahead this year, organisers have been forced to delay it just a little bit longer due to the ongoing pandemic.
The ER & DCR Excellence Awards are now scheduled to take place September 30, 2021, which should give the UK Government plenty of time to complete its vaccination programme and enable us to welcome the industry back together with a bang.
As always, the safety of all those attending the awards was the first and foremost priority, and while it’s regretful that the date has been pushed back until September 2021, it’s for the best.
This year’s awards will continue to take place at a gala dinner in London, with entries still open for those wishing to have the opportunity to nab a prestigious industry award.
