The B1M

We won!! The B1M has been named Media Brand of Year at the 2024 International Building Press (IBP) Awards 🔥

We saw off competition from several established industry brands to take home the biggest prize of the night. Announcing the winner of its coveted award at a special event in London, the IBP judges said:

“This category was fiendishly difficult to judge, with a string of high-calibre entrants – all with a strong story to tell. In the end, the winner stood out for its ambition, its innovative commercial and editorial model, its charitable fundraising, and its ability to engage a large global audience from the industry and beyond. In a market dominated by brands that have been established for decades, centuries even, the 2024 IBP media brand of the year is a relative newcomer whose time has come.”

Commenting on the news, The B1M’s founder Fred Mills said:

“This is fantastic recognition of The B1M’s impact, the quality of its journalism and the hard work and dedication of our amazing team. 2024 has been our most successful year to date on every front. To be named Media Brand of the Year ahead of five other long-established publishers is a serious coup for us and the perfect way to cap a remarkable period of success.”

“Starting a media brand from scratch isn’t easy and few people ever truly see the struggles behind the scenes. To have reached this point is incredible and I hope it stands as inspiration to all those currently in a similar fight to keep going. No matter how many people tell you something is impossible, it can in fact be done.”

Huge thanks to everyone that watches and supports us 🙌

In an area crowded by brand or company affiliate content, unbiased coverage getting recognition is always a good and encouraging. I like that your videos are not only focused on engineering side but also on financial and social impact of construction projects. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations you and your team Fred. That’s fantastic news and a just reward for the efforts that you guys go to to produce not only a superb view of key contracts and issues in the construction industry, but also your efforts to support the construction community through mental health and wellness awareness programs, and sponsoring Lego libraries for kids. Etc. Well deserved! 🏆🥂👏

That's nuts! Massive congratulations for all your efforts. The work you create is quite fascinating. I'm a Chef and have no connection to construction whatsoever, but they tick all my nerdy/engineering/curiosity boxes. Really made up for the whole team for this award! x
