Jacqueline commented, “The awards are the perfect opportunity to recognise and reward the work of some of the exceptional dedication and talent that we see in the construction sector. I would encourage others in the sector to get involved and I look forward to working with my fellow judges on the panel to select those who have gone above and beyond to deserve the industry recognition such an award will bring.”
