Building Awards 2010
The Building Awards took place in Grosvenor House Hotel on Thursday 22 April. The directors of Thomson Gray attended en-masse in anticipation of scooping the award for UK Construction Consultant / Surveyor (fewer than 100 staff) of the year. Unfortunately, and dismissing the option for a Steward’s Enquiry, it was not to be – however we took much satisfaction from achieving a place in the final six shortlist, and providing Scotland’s only representation in the category.
Apart from raising the profile of the practice, and grabbing the attention of 1,300 industry professionals at the awards dinner, the exercise has been full of positives; to have the quality and commitment of Thomson Gray recognised in such exalted company has given the team a major boost, and to have been graciously commended by clients and fellow professionals in our quest for the award is immensely gratifying.
We are still a relatively new business, operating in one of the most difficult markets in decades, our acceptance by our peers as one of the top six QS / Surveying practices in the UK, has only improved our determination to continuously improve, provide even better value, and deliver specific solutions to particular challenges (Oh, and to put and even bigger ‘bung’ in the brown envelope next year!!)
