A BUILDING firm from Bromsgrove has scooped a prestigious regional award.

Mister & Missus Ltd, based in Marlbrook, was awarded the Master Builder Award, taking the prize for best Heritage Project in the Federation of Master Builders’ (FMB), Midlands region.

The firm won the accolade for its restoration of a Grade II listed 1850s Georgian house on the Calthorpe Estate in Edgbaston.

John Watson, FMB central director, said: “Time and time again we have been impressed with just how far these builders will go to ensure their client is happy.

“It is this dedication that we want to celebrate.

“Mister & Missus Ltd should feel justly proud of this achievement in winning and we wish the company every success in the national competition.”

The firm will now go through to compete in the national finals in London on September 15, hosted by DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles, for their chance to win the UK category title
