Shining a spotlight on Guernsey’s property and construction industry, the inaugural Guernsey Construction Awards was held on Friday 14 October.

With more than 250 building and property professionals and their guests in attendance, the awards winners were announced at a gala dinner at Beau Sejour.

All spectrums of the industry were in attendance, including representatives from the Chartered Industry of Building, GOSHA, the CIGPE and the Construction Industry Forum. A section of the evening was also devoted to Guernsey’s up and coming apprentices, and College of Further Education principle, Louise Misselke, spoke passionately about the need for quality skills training on island.

The evening was enhanced by the announcement of a brand new local charity, The Guernsey Construction Benevolent Fund.

Tim Guilbert, former president of the CIOB, told an enthused audience that the need to ‘look after our own’ in times of hardship was a real must.

A collection at the awards evening raised just under £1,500.

Award trophies were presented to the following:

  • Property Professional of the year Award Richard Lee – RG Falla
  • Engineering Project of the Year Award Belle Greve Outfall Project - Geomarine
  • Health & Safety Award Andy Ricketts – RG Falla
  • Rising Star Award Rob Lowe – CCD Architects
  • Lifetime Achievement Award Eric Legg
  • Special Recognition Award Ken Morrison 

Kindly sponsored by Ogier Property and Channel Island Lines, the Guernsey Construction Awards aim to highlight and celebrate the contribution individuals make to Guernsey’s construction industry.

Entertainment came in the form of TV comedian, Milton Jones.

The Guernsey Construction Awards will return next year on 2nd November.
