G&T has had a flurry of success in this year’s spring awards season, with a host of projects being recognised for their impressive construction and contribution to the industry. We’ve rounded up some of the highlights in our article below…
BCO Regional Awards 2018
April and May played host to the BCO Regional Awards, providing public recognition for top quality design and functionality, setting the standard for excellent workplaces.
Kicking us off in the Midlands and Central England awards, G&T project, One The Square, was awarded Commercial Workplace 2018. G&T provided Cost Management services on this award winning project.
This was swiftly followed by the London awards where Here East, the former home of the Olympic Press and Broadcast centres, achieved Refurbished and Recycled Workplace of the year. The development will transform over one million sq ft into dedicated and versatile space (to find out more, read our project case study).
