Michael Parry, Managing Director at GCS Associates, emphasises the company’s commitment to driving positive change across the industry:
“As a business, we’re passionate about helping the industry evolve, ensuring it remains inclusive, dynamic, and forward-thinking. We believe that diversity is not just a buzzword but a crucial factor in long-term success.”

In line with this commitment, GCS Associates is proud to announce their sponsorship of the Diversity Award at the 2025 Builders’ Merchant Awards, which will take place on 28 November 2025 at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London.

Now in its 23rd year, the Builders’ Merchant Awards are the longest-standing and most prestigious event in the industry, celebrating excellence and innovation across a wide range of categories. The Diversity Award specifically recognises businesses that are leading the way in creating inclusive workplaces, championing underrepresented groups, and actively promoting equality across their organisations.

Entries are now open, and GCS Associates encourages businesses of all sizes to put themselves forward or nominate others who are making a meaningful impact in this space.

By supporting this award, GCS Associates hopes to shine a light on the importance of representation and inclusion—not just as a moral imperative, but as a key driver of business success.

Good luck to all the entrants, and we look forward to seeing you at the awards in November!
