The chief executive of commercial developer Stanhope has been rewarded for services to the property industry and environment by receiving a knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.
Stuart Lipton, also chairman of the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, commented: "This honour affirms the fact that the built environment is increasingly being seen as a national asset which must be innovatively and thoughtfully developed. As our industry comes of age it seems that our achievements are finally receiving the recognition they deserve."
Christopher Vickers, chairman of the Construction Industry Board was awarded a CBE for services to surveying and construction. Vickers, a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and a former chairman of the Construction Industry Council, said: "I am delighted my award has brought a bit of good news to the construction industry for a change. It has only come to me because I have been in the right place at the right time and because of the support along the way from my colleagues. I would really like to reflect some of this recognition onto them because it has been a real team effort."
Professor Peter Carolin, head of architecture at the University of Cambridge, also got a CBE.
Many of those responsible for improving transport facilities in the UK were rewarded with OBEs. Those honoured include Dugald Gonsal, former chief engineer, London Borough of Camden; Suzanne May, chairwoman Transport 2000; David Ogden, president of the Institution of Highways and Transportation; and Ove Arup director Corrine Swain.
Michael Jenkins, Jubilee Line Extension senior supervising engineer; John Self, former general manager of Jubilee and East London Line; and Christopher Wildblood, for services to architecture, were all given MBEs.
