For the ninth consecutive year, Sika will be involved in each of the awards ceremonies, and for the first time, this year we will be the headline sponsor for all twelve of the regional awards. A commitment to championing excellence in the delivery of land, real estate, construction and infrastructure projects, we believe being headline sponsors at the RICS is in tune with our commitment to excellence in everything we do - from product development though to technical support and industry-leading guarantees.

Our headline sponsorship of the awards, recognises the fact that we are part of something much bigger than the products we supply; we are involved in making our built environment more relevant and engaging for the people who use it, and more sustainable for both the environment and society.

It’s a celebration of the diversity of construction and infrastructure projects taking place across the regions; a diversity that is echoed within the Sika business. In addition to the varied roofing brands and solutions within our roofing portfolio, we offer a complete range of sealing, bonding, damping, reinforcing and protecting solutions across the concrete, waterproofing, flooring, refurbishment and sealing & bonding sectors too.

As headline sponsor, the calendar of regional RICS awards ceremonies provides an opportunity for Sika to celebrate our innovation in advanced construction materials within real projects that showcase the very best in design, specification and project delivery. We know from previous years of sponsoring the awards, how many of the stand out projects shortlisted each year, use products from our ranges. We also use the award ceremonies as an opportunity to explain our ‘basement to roof’ portfolio and to network with chartered surveyors, understand the challenges they face and learn more about how we could help them.
