The awards were the first to be staged in person since 2019 after last year’s event was held online because of the covid-19 pandemic

Hosted by comedian Jason Manford, the ceremony at the Grosvenor House hotel in London’s Mayfair tonight (2 November) was attended by 1,000 people who were able to congratulate the winners (full list below) in person for the first time since 2019.

Kier chief executive Andrew Davies won the CEO of the Year Award – becoming the first boss to claim the title twice.

Davies, who started at the contractor in spring 2019 and this year guided the firm to its first annual pre-tax profit in three years, was ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV’s inaugural CEO of the Year, having won the 2016 prize when he was at the helm of Wates. For this year’s award, he beat T&T’s Vince Clancy, the winner in 2017, and Morgan Sindall’s John Morgan, who picked up the title the following year.

The CEO and Client of the Year prizes are chosen from shortlists compiled by the industry judging panel, with the V&A winning the client award.

Other winners included Sir Robert McAlpine, who won ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV Magazine Project of the Year for its work on British Land’s 100 Liverpool Street building, and Berkeley which was named Housebuilder of the Year.
