SWIFT HORSMAN WINS SPECIALISTS AWARD
Press release: Friday 5th March 2010
For immediate release.
Swift Horsman Ltd picked up the prize for Training at last night’s Specialists Awards, held at the Hilton Hotel, London.
Winners of the Specialists Awards, supported by the NSCC, were announced on Thursday 4th March, to celebrate the finest specialist contractors and construction projects today.
The awards, hosted by stand up comedian, presenter and actor, Rufus Hound, were presented at the prestigious 5 star Hilton Hotel, on London’s Park Lane. Attended by over 600 leaders in specialist contracting in the construction industry, these awards brought together the key players in the industry and the ones to watch.
Nick Edwards, editor of Construction News magazine commented:
In times like this, the difference between success and just surviving can be just about getting that little bit of competitive edge. That’s what Specialists Awards is all about. Showing in the expertise you bring, in the quality you ensure, in the innovation you create, you are the beating heart of the industry through good times and bad.
Suzannah Nichol, Chief Executive of the NSCC also commented:
“…here we are tonight, over 650 of us celebrating what you, the beating heart of Construction, the largest industrial sector in the UK, contribute to UK plc.
And don’t underestimate what you do. Without you we would have no schools, hospitals, offices, universities, houses. No roads, bridges, communication networks. You get the picture. Without you and your valuable supply chains, who carry out 90% of the work on site, we would have no industry. Everyone has a part to play – but never forget – yours is a major part.”
Big winners on the night included Cantillon, Alumet Systems and FK Roofing Services. The CN Special Award went to the well deserved, Roger Bullivant. The full list of winners is detailed below.
