In addition to the project awards, the LRWA also recognised outstanding charitable efforts within the industry. At the same ceremony, Sika was honoured with the LRWA Charity Team Challenge Award, demonstrating its commitment to giving back to the community. The charity challenge, now in its fifth year, invites teams to walk, run, cycle or swim as far as they can in 30 minutes to achieve the highest number of kilometres. Sika’s Roofing Team took home the gold award, with Jon Shum, Marketing Development Manager, clocking the highest number of kilometres on an outdoor bike and teammate Max Colligan, Head of Major Projects, running the longest distance.
