The winners of the 2021 Construction News Specialists Awards were revealed at The Brewery in London last night. Editor of Construction News, Lem Bingley said:

“It was great to return to a live event and to celebrate the achievements of the industry’s many talented subcontractors. Over the past 18 months, throughout the pandemic, specialists have worked incredibly hard to deliver the results their clients need. Very often they have done so under tremendous pressure to get the job done while keeping everyone on site as safe as humanly possible.

“It was brilliant to see the scale of their work recognised. The CN Specialists Awards winners amply demonstrate how much our sector is doing, through innovation and collaboration, to deliver outstanding projects while contributing to communities, training the next generation, and rising to the challenges of climate change.”

Congratulations to the winners in all the categories, which can be viewed here. The Construction News Specialists Awards will be back in 2022.

​If there was a worst case scenario for an industry that relied on the ability for people to meet face to face, being denied just that by a global pandemic would be it. Marketing departments and agencies that had long relied on physical face-to-face awards events to give people the opportunity to make and build relationships were forced to adapt overnight.

Virtual awards events have seen some integration opportunities for marketing and sales, as the former looks for conversions and the latter for relationship-building opportunities. We are also now finally seeing the green shoots of recovery, with the growth of hybrid and small face-to-face experiences towards the end of the year.

​What is also encouraging is that there has been a universal agreement that marketing teams are desperate for the awards events industry to re-open. The fact it has been taken away from them has helped them truly understand what they are missing.
