The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) has launched its Industry Awards 2025 adding ten new categories and giving the programme a completely new look and feel.
Entries are now open for the 28 categories and the Association said it was aiming to increase participation by 25% despite hitting a record 101 entries in 2024.
The BESA Awards are sponsored by Mitsubishi Electric and designed to recognise and reward the achievements of individuals, teams, and organisations that have significantly contributed to the development of the building services sector in the last 12 months.
The deadline for entries is July 4 and the awards ceremony returns to the historic Brewery, Chiswell Street, London for the second year in a row on October 16 following the BESA Annual Conference at the same venue earlier in the day.
They are free to enter and include awards for outstanding projects and firms as well as individuals who have gone above and beyond the call of duty for the greater good of the industry.
New categories for this year include Offsite Project of the Year, Excellence in Commissioning, a REFCOM Environmental Excellence award, Service and Maintenance Contractor of the Year and Ventilation Hygiene Contractor of the Year.
There are also new Contractor of the Year awards for Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England, alongside an overall National Contractor of the Year award, which is sponsored by Groupe Atlantic.
As usual, the BESA Awards celebrate and champion the emerging generation with a range of categories aimed at young engineers and apprentices. This year each nominated apprentice will be asked to complete a 45-minute online test.
An expert panel of judges chaired by BESA technical director Kevin Morrissey has been assembled and expanded to take on the additional workload created by the new categories.
“We are extremely excited about this year’s awards,” said BESA’s group events manager Charlie Ward. “Following the success of last year’s event, which attracted more than 400 guests, we are looking forward to growing even further and cementing the BESA Awards as one of the top celebrations in the industry’s calendar.”
