2011 Awards

Collaboration, teamwork and the principles of rethinking construction were the real winners at the CEW Awards in the Summer of 2011 Major projects such as A40 and Church Village bypass demonstrated that construction benefits from an integrated team approach to procurement, project management and waste but as with other years, the whole supply chain was a winner.

All nine Award Winners demonstrated why the Welsh built environment is still one of the most important areas of the country’s economy and now a priority economic sector.  Wales leads the way in construction collaboration and best practice and this was proved again at the National Constructing Excellence in Wales Awards when City & County of Swansea won the leadership and development award.

The CEW Awards is now a central part of the built environment calendar in Wales.  It is a great opportunity to showcase the skills and talent of our industry and the benefits it brings to Wales and the communities it serves. There are nine CEW Award categories, including SME and Achiever Award.  Each of them gives an opportunity for every part of the Welsh built environment to demonstrate their achievements and promote the ideals of collaborative working and best practice.  You can get a flavour of this from the quality of the shortlisted candidates.

Milica Kitson, chief executive of Constructing Excellence in Wales said:

“Every time we hold the CEW Awards the industry as a whole is the winner.  But the award winners on the night are the best of the best and proof that the collaborative approach to the procurement and management of projects delivers outstanding performance and results every time.  It is a shining example for the rest of construction to follow.  Now is the time for everyone to learn from their success as we need to improve our procurement methods and measure performance more than ever.  Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to our sponsors and to everyone that attended such a great evening.”
