For more than 40 years the CMYA
awards have shone a light on the amazing skills and talent within the discipline of construction management. These awards are unique in the sector and celebrate the talent of those who manage construction projects rather than the project itself. It is recognised as one of the most challenging and career-defining awards to win.

In 2020 the prestigious CMYA event became a virtual ceremony, hosted by architect and TV presenter George Clarke FCIOB. This year the CIOB is planning to be back at London’s JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel, on 29 September 2021, to celebrate the finalists.
Past winners and industry leaders make up an expert panel of judges from across the UK who assess applications, conduct interviews and scrutinise every aspect of the project.
The awards are free to enter and the CIOB encourages the industry to put forward its best talent to showcase the very best of the industry. CIOB chief executive Caroline Gumble is already looking forward to what this year’s competition brings.
“The CMYA has always sought out the very best of leadership and talent in our sector,” she said. “Even last year, when our sector faced immense challenges, the line-up of finalists was incredibly impressive and a testament to the remarkable resilience of our industry.
“I’m sure that, once again, we’ll see fierce competition from the finest construction managers in the industry, showcasing the highest levels of professionalism and commitment.”
Last year’s winner was Frank Connolly MCIOB of Mace. ●
