NEW DATE SET FOR CIOB AWARDS

[THE SEARCH FOR the construction industry’s most influential managers and leaders is back on as a new date for the coveted CIOB Awards is announced. The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) will host the event, formerly known as the Construction Manager of the Year Awards, at London Hilton Metropole on 9 April 2024.

Categories include Client of the Year, Team of the Year and the prestigious Construction Manager of the Year.

Following their introduction in 2022, categories recognising teams and individuals paving the way for sustainability and equality, diversity and inclusion in the industry will also make a return in 2024.

The closing date for entries is 31 August. CIOB will reveal the list of finalists later this year before the winners are announced at the glittering ceremony in London next spring. Anyone who submitted an entry for the postponed 2023 event does not need to enter again.

Caroline Gumble, CEO of CIOB, commented: “The CIOB Awards provide an important platform to cheerlead for our sector and to share the stories of some of the best and brightest built environment professionals.

“I am absolutely delighted that we have now confirmed a new date for the awards and can look forward to celebrating this important industry in the spring next year.

“I know there are many people who are doing amazing and innovative work within construction and I can’t wait to see them recognised and celebrated for their achievements.”

The most recent Construction Manager of the Year award was scooped up by Kier’s Joe O’Connell for his work on Exeter’s St Sidwell’s Point Leisure Centre. The same project saw his team take home the CIOB Team of the Year award. q
