Kindly sponsored by Ogier, comedienne Lucy Porter has been confirmed as the entertainment for this year’s Guernsey Construction Awards 2017 to be held on Thursday 2nd November at Beau Sejour. Having cut her teeth at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Lucy has gone on to develop parallel careers in television and radio.
Commenting on the announcement, co-founder of the Guernsey Construction Awards, Tim Guilbert, said: ‘In a relatively short period of time, our organising team has built a reputation for an annual awards that combines the celebrations around success and achievement for the category winners with entertainment from headline acts. We are especially pleased to have secured Lucy for the evening, thanks to the support of Ogier.’
Lucy Porter is a regular face and voice on TV and radio panel shows. You may have seen her alongside Ed Byrne on ‘Celebrity Pointless’, or emerge victorious in ‘Celebrity Mastermind – Children In Need special’, fending off stiff competition from Mark Watson and Dave Spikey. She has also appeared on ‘I.Q.’, ‘Mock the Week’, ‘Have I got news for you’, ‘Never mind the Buzzcocks’ and ‘What the Dickens’.
Tim Guilbert said: ‘there is much to celebrate about the property and construction industry in Guernsey as new projects bring a built vibrancy to our skyline that mirrors the positive economic outlook. The Awards seek to reward that excellence.’
The Gala Evening will culminate in the presentation of seven awards to companies and individuals from all sectors of the property and construction industry.
This year’s Guernsey Construction Awards will see the introduction of three new categories: Property agent of the year; industry supplier of the year and Innovation Award for the best new product or service.
In addition to the new categories, further developments include an acknowledgement for smaller businesses that may not have been involved in larger projects but, through the quality of their work, have helped shape the built landscape of our Island.
