Young Builder of the Year–Nominations Open Now!

Each year, Youthbuild UK celebrates remarkable young people who’ve overcome adversity and shown real promise in construction and the built environment.

Nominations for the 2025 Young Builder of the Year award are now open to all organisations – not just colleges.

You might know someone like one of last year’s finalists — a young man who supported his father after a serious car accident. Despite personal tragedy, including eventually losing his father to suicide, he remained committed to his apprenticeship and stood out for his professionalism, work ethic and resilience.

Or someone like another finalist, who became the sole carer for his disabled brother at a young age, all while battling health issues, grief, and housing instability.

If you know a young person with a story of strength, determination, and growth — nominate them today.

Finalists will be recognised at the House of Commons
Deadline for nominations: Friday 5 July
Submit your nomination: www.ybuk.org/nominations

Let’s celebrate the builders of tomorrow — the ones who’ve already proven what they’re made of.
