Constructing Excellence SECBE Awards 2018
The winners of the Constructing Excellence SECBE Awards 2018 were revealed at the prestigious awards ceremony and gala dinner on 28th June 2018 at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in Hyde Park, London.
It was Constructing Excellence's biggest awards ceremony yet, with more than 600 guests celebrating the success of the regions’ finest people, organisations and projects.
