The votes are in. After much debate and deliberation, the finalists for the 2008 Building Services Awards have been chosen. This year the quantity and quality of entries was especially high, with only the very best making it to the shortlist.

Winners will be announced at the Building Services Awards at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on Monday 23 June. This is the 11th year of the industry’s most prestigious awards, and the event is set to be the biggest and best yet.

If you haven’t already done so, put 23 June in your diary and make sure you book a place for what promises to be a most memorable night.

  • Tables for 10 cost £1950 + VAT, or £210 + VAT for an individual place. To book, please call Createvents +44 (0)1252 781 178, or email clare@createvents.co.uk
