Contract Journal Awards - The finalists

The shortlist is out for this year's Contract Journal Construction Industry Awards - and if your company has made it to the final, many congratulations.

These Awards are designed to recognise outstanding business performance throughout the construction industry.

This year, we have had a record entry, so making it to the shortlist is a huge achievement. Now, all shortlisted firms will be invited to submit a more detailed entry for the second stage of judging, while Awards auditor Grant Thornton will shortly start contacting finalists' named references.

The shortlist for the Silver Helmet Award for Safety will be announced at a later date - entrants have already sent in a detailed entry for this category, and judges are currently working through the submissions.

Shortlisted companies will find out whether they have won at the Contract Journal Construction Industry Awards on 22 September at London's Grosvenor House Hotel.

Besides the Awards presentation, this is an evening of great entertainment and it is a key networking event for the construction industry. Everyone is welcome to attend.

If you want to know more about the Awards, or attending the evening, the details are at www.cjawards.com.
