We have appointed two Patrons to the scheme who will act as Ambassadors for the Civic Trust Awards:
Our Design Patron is Chris Wilkinson OBE RA, founding partner and Principal of Wilkinson Eyre Architects who have won over 120 national and international design awards including the RIBA Stirling Prize for two consecutive years in 2001 and 2002. His latest submissions to the Civic Trust Awards, the Arena and Convention Centre in Liverpool, won a Special Award for Evening Economy in 2009 and Liverpool One Masterplan which won the Special Award for Sustainability in 2010.
Our Media Patron is George Clarke, an architect and presenter of ‘Restoration Man’ and ‘The Home Show’ on Channel 4, currently attracting over 3 million viewers. His remit is to help raise awareness of the scheme amongst the general public, encouraging them to participate in the Awards by volunteering as local community advisors. George also presents our Awards Ceremony in March each year.
