The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has announced the 2022 finalists for the CIOB Awards, which will take place on 28 September in London
CIOB has announced the 2022 finalists for the CIOB Awards, with over 70 construction managers and organisations from across the industry shortlisted for 14 awards.
The event will be hosted by radio and television presenter Anita Rani, who is best known for her work on BBC Countryfile, The One Show and BBC Radio 4.
The awards will recognise achievements in equality and sustainability
This is the first year CIOB will present awards specifically for sustainability and equality, diversity and inclusion (ED&I), reflecting two of the biggest challenges currently faced by the construction industry.
The awards will also include traditional categories such as Team of the Year, Rising Star and Construction Manager of the Year and will be presented at a black tie event sponsored by S&P Global Engineering and Elecosoft.
The announcement of the 2022 CIOB awards finalists for each category follows a rigorous assessment process which sees judges assess written applications, as well as conducting site visits and panel interviews.
Previous winners include Marc Burton, who constructed a Nightingale hospital under budget in less than four weeks
In 2021 the Construction Manager of Year Award was presented to Marc Burton.
Marc and his team of locally based workers delivered a 180-bed Nightingale hospital on the island of Jersey during the covid-19 pandemic under budget and in only 25 days.
Almost a year on from winning the award, Marc said: “It was an incredible honour to win CMYA last year particularly given the extremely strong entrants across the various categories. To receive the award at the gala evening in front of your peers was truly humbling, a fantastic experience and a career defining accolade.
“Promoting careers in construction and the built environment has been a real passion and focus of mine for several years and the award has really helped in highlighting the fantastic opportunities that exist in our industry using the experience of the Jersey Nightingale as an example. The Jersey Nightingale was a very special project and I’ve really enjoyed sharing the story, events and lessons learnt with a whole host of people including those from other industries, highlighting the contribution the built environment makes to our communities.”
Speaking on the finalists for the CIOB awards, CEO Caroline Gumble said: “We have received lots of high-quality entries for this year’s CIOB Awards, which showcase the very best leadership and talent in the built environment sector. Our congratulations go to all the finalists, and we hope they will join us at the awards ceremony in September, which is always such an inspirational event. It will be exciting to discover who the winners are.”
