2023 Awards

The 2023 Natspec Awards was the fourth year of the Natspec Awards. The criteria was refreshed and there was a renewed focus on the innovation displayed by the winners.

The Awards were announced in an online ceremony with winners then recognised at Natspec’s National Conference in June. We also awarded an overall award for innovation for the first time.
