The champions league

Summer is starting, which can mean only one thing - it's time for the 2006 Building Services Awards. And with the 2006 World Cup the hot topic of the month, guests can enjoy a night of football-themed celebrations.

Who hit the target in the m&e industry this year? Who showed the skills needed to meet their opponent's challenges? The top players in the m&e industry will gather at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London on 26 June to toast the finalists and winners.

The awards kick-off at 7pm with the presentation of the ever popular Apprentice of the Year Award. A sumptuous dinner will then be enjoyed before the main event. And after cheering on the winners, guests can enjoy post-match entertainment at a charity casino.

The event is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors: Andrews Water Heaters, Autodesk, Colt International, Daikin UK, ECA, Jaga Heating Products, Ken Cheshire Society, Hays Building Services, Estimation Group, Lochinvar, MK Electric, NICEIC, Potterton Commercial Heating, SummitSkills, Toshiba Carrier UK and Vent-Axia.

So book your tickets, dust down your evening wear and get ready for a night of action on 26 June.
