Andy McTavish, the project manager for Kier Scotland, has scooped the Gold Award at the Construction Manager of the Year Awards
Andy McTavish won the title of Construction Manager of the Year Award in the Higher Education category.
The awards recognised Andy’s work at Ayr Academy for hub South West and South Ayrshire Council.
The project was a £24 million school that Kier Construction built to accommodate an additional 300 students over three storeys.
The school provides a modern, creative and social learning environment with shared indoor and outdoor spaces.
Brian McQuade, managing director of Kier Scotland and North East said:
“Only the very best in the industry reach the final of these awards.
“So, it’s extra special that Andy has won this prestigious accolade.
“Awards like these are so important in recognising the talent of individuals within the industry.
“Particularly as the sector strives to combat the skills shortage by encouraging new and diverse talent to consider a career in construction.”
Organised by the Charted Institute of Building, the awards are one of the most prestigious built environment awards in Europe.
The ceremony has a unique approach in the fact that it is one of the only awards ceremonies to celebrate excellence in construction management.
TV presenter, Hazel Irvine lead the ceremony at the Grosvenor Hotel in London last week.
