Last year’s event took place at the Grosvenor House hotel on London’s Park Lane

Previous winners include Cundall, Turner & Townsend, Mace, Morgan Sindall and Sir Robert McAlpine.

As part of the 2022 programme, entries are now open for the Every Person Counts – The People Strategy Award. 

This new award builds on our Every Person Counts campaign to shine a spotlight on all those companies and organisations that have innovated staff recruitment and retention practices in response to rapidly changing working patterns post-pandemic. 

There is also the new Net Zero Award designed to highlight UK projects and initiatives that are playing a key role in achieving environmental goals.

The deadline for all 20 categories is 17 June and the full list is below.
