The coveted crown of Chartered Institute of Building’s (CIOB) Construction Manager of the Year has been scooped up by Barry Kingscote of Galliford Try.
Barry fended off competition from more than 85 finalists across 13 different categories to claim the top gong following his project to develop a unique office space directly adjacent to one of London’s most prestigious landmarks – Marble Arch.
He described the project as the most complex of his construction career – spanning more than 40 years. The completed build provides 57,000 square feet of contemporary office space across seven floors.
Speaking after picking up his award, Barry, who also claimed top prize in the Construction Manager, Commercial category, said he was delighted to be recognised while paying tribute to the team which supported him.
He added: "I can't put the feeling into words.
"To go against all these fantastic managers in so many fields and to come out on top is just so surprising. It's an honour and I would like to congratulate everyone who has been recognised."
Finalists gathered alongside scores of spectators at a glittering, black-tie award ceremony as they eagerly awaited.
Award categories included Rising Star Award, won by Jessica Haskett of Kier Construction and an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Individual Award which was won by Katy Robinson of East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
Other winners on the night included:
Caroline Gumble, Chief Executive Officer at CIOB, added: “It was a wonderful evening, an inspiring and much-needed celebration of our sector. There is no doubt that there’s a real depth of talent among the UK’s built environment professionals, with some incredibly impressive projects making the list of finalists.
“It was great to see the awards go to a range of individuals and companies, all of whom are amazing examples of leadership and dedication, all delivering a high-quality built environment. Many congratulations to all our winners.”
