The shortlist for this year’s Consultancy and Engineering Awards has been announced by the Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE). 

The prestigious awards, which celebrate the outstanding people, teams and projects from the world of consultancy, engineering and the built environment, return this year as a virtual ceremony on Thursday 16 September 2021 at 12 noon. The winners of the ten awards will be revealed in a broadcast via YouTube and on ACE’s website. 

Commenting on the shortlist, Darrell Matthews, director of membership and business engagement at ACE, said: “We’re delighted with the positive response to this year’s awards which have been among our most popular to date. This has made the judges’ task even more difficult than usual, however, as it has resulted in an exceptional shortlist! I hope that the industry will join us online on Thursday 16 September at 12 noon as we discover who has come out on top. This is a brief moment to reflect on, and celebrate, industry success – made all the more impressive in that it was delivered in difficult and uncertain times.”

Thanks to the generous support of headline sponsors Bentley Systems and Griffiths & Armour, as well as category sponsors WSP and Arcadis, the awards are free to enter this year. Once again, Infrastructure Intelligence are the media partners for the awards.
