The Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House Hotel was once again packed to the rafters for the 2006 Building Services Awards.

England may have been found wanting in the World Cup this summer, but the 2006 Building Services Awards found champions galore as the industry’s best gathered at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel.

Star of tv and screen, comedian Rob Brydon hosted the Awards night, which saw 17 winners emerge victorious. Balfour Kilpatrick picked up the gong for major m&e contractor of the year; Kier Building Services won the award for m&e contractors with less than £50 million turnover per year.
