AWARDS Construction in South Yorkshire Awards

The Celebrating Construction in South Yorkshire Awards 2014 was attended

by 300 construction professionals from across the region.

The seventh CCISY Awards dinner took place at Cutlers’ Hall, Sheffield. Held by the CIOB and sponsored by CSCS and CITB, the event celebrated high-quality work by South Yorkshire’s construction industry supply chain, including developers, designers, builders and end-users, both large and small. The CCISY awards promote a range of

different sectors essential to the delivery of innovative construction, from empowering communities through corporate social responsibility and investing in skills, to creating low carbon developments and being environmentally pro-active. The awards produced 11 extremely well

deserved winners who have continued to display excellent practices throughout this economically challenging past 12 months.

The awards will be held again in October 2015. For more information contact ccisy@littlespark.co.uk
