CEW Awards 2022 Winners Announcement

We absolutely loved seeing so many faces all together for the first time at what is still, the biggest, best, and buzziest awards night in the Welsh construction calendar. There were over 500 of you to witness some outstanding winners, some brilliant highly commended awards and one special mention. What stood out for us as organisers of this respected event was the desire to share best practice, ideas, a pat on the back, a drink and celebrate not just best practice but Wales. The team at the Celtic Manor made it a great night – thank you.

There is something that sets apart the CEW Awards from others of their type. And it is a particularly Welsh way of having a great time. The next step is to share the lessons from the winners and highly commended projects, organisations, and individuals. We want you to sign up to take it further – become Exemplars. We want you to share best practice in the traditions of Rethinking Construction. After COVID and amidst inflation and ongoing political uncertainties and an urgent need for our industry to decarbonise and deliver on net zero and retrofit the awards show exactly what our construction industry is capable of. Our excellent sponsors see that potential and that's why they back the CEW Awards year in and year out. Thank you.

Welsh construction is full of potential. Our role as business improvement champions is to guide, cajole, educate and influence so that our brilliant economic sector realises its potential and thrives. That's how to impress. That is how to build on the success of our award winners at Friday's CEW Awards 2022.
