CIOB Awards 2023 - Search begins for construction's leading lights
[edit] CIOB Awards 2023 postponed until 2024
It is with regret that CIOB have made the difficult decision to postpone CIOB Awards for 2023 until Spring 2024.
The awards have a long history for celebrating excellence in construction. They were set to take place on 4 October 2023, but with a shortage of entries across all categories, due to the challenging environment the industry finds itself in, we have made this move to uphold the standards we are famous for, and to ensure that those who have entered receive the recognition they rightly deserve.
We know this news will be disappointing for many of you. But we are excited to hold these awards in Spring 2024, giving the industry more time to take part and celebrate the remarkable achievements of the people who make construction great.
Those who have already entered are being contacted and will have their entry automatically included in the Spring 2024 judging process. If you are working on a project, in a team or know someone who is doing amazing things in this industry we are open for entry now until 31 August 2023 with full details available at: https://awards.ciob.org.
This update appears on the CIOB news and blog site as "CIOB Awards postponement" dated May 11, 2023.
[edit] Previous announcement
The Chartered Institute of Building has begun its search for 2023’s top construction managers and industry leaders with the launch of the annual CIOB Awards.
The prestigious awards, formerly known as the Construction Manager of the Year Awards (CMYA), were first held in 1978 and are often a springboard for careers with many past winners going on to work on iconic landmarks like Canary Wharf and The Shard.
Entries for the awards can be submitted online with categories covering client of the year, team of the year and the coveted Construction Manager of the Year. After their introduction in 2022, categories recognising teams and individuals leading the way in sustainability and EDI, will also be making a return this year.
The closing date for entries is March 17. Finalists will be announced in July, with winners set to be revealed at a glittering ceremony in London in the autumn.
Caroline Gumble, CEO at CIOB, said: “In recent years, it has become increasingly important to celebrate our industry and every year the CIOB Awards showcase some of the very best talent in construction. I am already looking forward to seeing who will be nominated in 2023 and hearing their stories. If you or someone you work with has demonstrated leadership, excellence and a focus on delivering a high-quality built environment, please do nominate them for a CIOB Award.”
In 2022, the Construction Manager of the Year award was presented to Kier’s Joe O’Connell for his work on Exeter’s St Sidwell’s Point Leisure Centre. The project also resulted in Joe’s team receiving the CIOB’s Team of the Year award last year. On receiving his award, Joe described the accolade as a “career high” and said he was honoured to be nominated.
