A date for your diary

It's that time once again. No, not the World Cup Final, but the Building Services Awards.

This year's event takes place on 26 June at the Grosvenor House Hotel. Last year almost 1000 guests came to celebrate with the very best in the industry and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever.

The 2006 entries demonstrated some excellent projects, great innovative thinking and a strong commitment to environmental issues. The finalists in the main categories are listed below.

So if you haven't done it already, put the 26 June in your diary and book a place for what will undoubtedly be a memorable night with some top after-dinner entertainment.
