Positive outlook for industry’s future


THE LATEST B&ES state of trade survey, undertaken in July, has some very good news for the building engineering services industry. Members who


participated in the survey were reporting improvements in enquiries, order books and turnover. If anything, this further strengthens the view that a strong economic recovery is taking root. According to the report, more than half of

The biggest successes were reported in the

Magazine Team HVR AWARDS


The HVR Awards has received an excellent response this year with a 30 per cent increase in the number of entries compared with last year.


2014


This year the the quality of entries has been very high with impressive detail in supporting documents.


I believe this a testament to the amount of time and effort taken by the entrants and it meant that some of the categories were hotly contested. The entries went before our independent panel of judges, who represent three key industry organisations, on September 30. We would like to thank the judges Mark Oakes, head of specialist group services (B&ES); Mike Smith, Director Engineer- ing (BSRIA); Mike Duggan, Technical Manager (FETA) for taking time to participating on the judging panel.
