The Jersey Construction Council awards ceremony - held at the Royal Jersey Showground on Saturday - celebrated the quality and commitment of individuals and companies over the past year.
This year’s awards ceremony celebrated the quality and commitment of individuals and companies that have excelled in the past year.
The Lifetime Achievement Award, recognised Brian Blandin, for a lifetime dedicated to the continual improvement of construction in Jersey. Those embarking on a career in construction were also recognised with Marc Godel of Camerons receiving the Hepburns Industry Achiever of the Year Award and Troy Rees-Davies of T & G Limited, winning the Skills Jersey Young Achiever of the Year Award.
David Morris, Chairman of the Jersey Construction Council Awards 2014 said: “One of the Council’s key aims when it was formed ten years ago, was to ensure that the industry never became complacent and always strives to be better. I believe that the quality of submissions for the awards shows that the industry is doing just that by always aiming for higher standards.”
The awards also marked the Construction Council’s tenth anniversary as the principal organisation championing the Island’s construction industry. Comedian Patrick Kielty entertained the audience with what was described as a "side-splitting stand-up routine".
This year, two new categories of award, the Normans Health (won by Jersey Electricity) and Safety Award and the Ronez Building Regeneration of the Year Award (Homestead – Lowe & Co) were included for the first time.
The awards were attended by 350 people at the Royal Jersey Showground and as well as being entertained by Mr Kielty, the audience enjoyed the music of Tony Gardiner and Mica Young as well as local band, The Jersey Bounce.
