The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) has announced the shortlists for its relaunched and revamped National Awards.
To celebrate the return of in-person awards following the pandemic, BESA has introduced several new categories open to both members and non-members including Net Zero Initiative, Product Innovation, Diversity and Inclusion, Competence and Compliance, and Women in Building Services.
They also feature for the first time a Specialist Groups award to pay tribute to the work of the many individuals who give up their own time to carry out important technical work on behalf of the Association and the industry at large.
BESA head of technical Graeme Fox, who chaired the judging panel, said: “The judges were hugely encouraged by the breadth and depth of talent and innovation represented by the large numbers of entries we received,” said BESA head of technical Graeme Fox, who chaired the judging panel.
“We were particularly delighted to see such strong support for the Competence and Compliance award as this is a major focus for our sector – not least because of new building safety legislation.
“Both the large and small project categories also attracted strong support and demonstrated the best of our industry in action. Above all, this year’s awards brought to our attention some of the brightest and most self-sacrificing people who are sharing freely of their time and expertise for the greater good of the industry.
“We are hugely grateful for their efforts which bode well for the future of our profession.”
