Re-development of Charing Cross wins major construction award

Friday 19 October 2018

The re-development of Charing Cross, including the construction of the Premier Inn Hotel and regeneration of Pitt Street, was one of the big winners at the 2018 Jersey Construction Council Awards.

It scooped the award for Ronez Project of the Year over £5million, with judges praising the building as being "of high quality, with innovative construction methods, strong environmental credentials, longevity, all with a positive lasting impact on its neighbours and the wider community."

It was also a successful night for Women in Construction, with the first ever female winner of the Highlands College/Skills Jersey Star of the Future Award going to Olivia Methven-Higgins from Camerons. 

Also a first-time winner was Granite Le Pelley, who received the Comprop Business of the Year with Over 10 Employees Award.

Other projects recognised on the night included the residential property of Logie Point that won the Dimplex Project of the Year Up To £1m award, and the Hospital MRI Scanner, which won the Pentagon Project of the Year Award between £1-£5million. The Jersey Electricity Sustainability Award went to the Premier Inn project.

Martin Holmes, Chairman of the Jersey Construction Council welcomed Chief Executive of the States of Jersey, Charlie Parker to the event and said that he hoped that he would take away a clear impression of a buoyant and highly skilled industry that will be a key delivery partner in achieving the Government’s strategic aims.
