The Confor Dinner & Awards celebrate the outstanding contributions of individuals and organisations who go above and beyond in the forestry and wood-using industry.
At the end of 2024, Confor has asked common people to nominate colleagues and peers who deserved recognition for their work to drive the sector forward, whether that be through forward-thinking leadership, changing attitudes about the industry, helping making it resilient for the future, or contributing to net zero. This shortlist of nominees showcases the breadth of skill and achievement present across the wide-reaching spectrum of the industry.
Winners will be announced at the Confor Dinner & Awards event at Surgeons Quarter, Edinburgh on February 19. Fife-based designer Paul Rees (Man Glitter Creations) has handcrafted awards to be presented on the night.
In addition to the four category awards, the winner of the Confor Dedicated Service to Forestry Award will also be presented at the dinner. This title is bestowed on a Confor Member who has made an outstanding positive contribution to the forestry industry over the course of their career.
