London’s Grosvenor House Hotel was once again packed to the rafters with talent for the 10th Building Services Awards.

The industry’s very best (if a tad worse-for-wear as the night progressed) gathered at what was our biggest and most spectacular event yet.

Fresh from a stint at this year’s Glastonbury festival, Comedian Bill Bailey hosted the Awards night, which saw 17 winners emerge victorious. NG Bailey picked up the gong for major m&e contractor of the year and Farebrother won the award for m&e contractors with less than £20 million turnover per year.

Buro Happold picked up two project awards: one for Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium and one for Perth Concert Hall.

Faber Maunsell was the winner of the training award and WT Parker’s Jack Sillito won apprentice of the year. This year, the standard of entries was higher than ever, and our judges certainly had their work cut out. So well done to all of the finalists and everyone who entered.

We’d also like to say a big thank you to all our sponsors: Space Air, Toshiba Carrier, Andrews Water Heaters, the ECA, Lochinvar, Hays Building Services, Ken Cheshire Society, Victaulic, Polypipe, Jaga, Hilti, EAL, Summit Skills, Autodesk, MK, Panasonic and TermoDeck & Thermocast Tarmac.
