The Council for Aluminium in Building (CAB) has announced details of its 2026 Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony, which will take place on Thursday 15 October at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon.
The annual event will bring together CAB members and industry guests for an evening combining networking, industry discussion and recognition. This year, CAB is introducing a new format, with a programme of speakers addressing topics relevant to the aluminium and wider construction sectors ahead of the black-tie dinner. Further details of the speaker programme are expected to be announced shortly.
Following the dinner and awards ceremony, guests will hear from Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham MBE QCB, former Special Air Service soldier and Chief Instructor on SAS: Who Dares Wins. Billingham served for more than 20 years in the military and took part in strategic operations around the world.
Jessica Dean, Membership and Events Director at CAB, said the Gala Dinner remains one of the highlights of the organisation’s calendar and an important opportunity to bring the aluminium in building community together. 
The event is supported by Novastruct UK, TECHNAL UK, Kestrel Aluminium Systems, Metal Technology, Senior Architectural Systems, UL Solutions, Business Pilot, Fentrade and Sapphire Louvres.
