The 12th annual ECI Training and Development Awards honoured the very best of engineering construction talent at a prestigious ceremony recently in London.
The event, organised by the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB), brought together industry leaders, as well as the rising stars of tomorrow, for a celebration of excellence in training and development.
The ceremony recognised standout individuals, companies and training providers as awards were presented to winners across nine categories at what is now an established highlight in the engineering construction industry’s (ECI) calendar.
The theme of the awards was change and, in opening the event, ECITB Chief Executive Andrew Hockey spoke of the new Government’s commitment to skills and how the industry is changing as it plays its part in realising the country’s net zero goals.
The judging panel for the awards was made up of Mark Fotheringham from Infinity Engineering, Tracey Shelley from BCECA and John Webster from Applus UK, who picked the overall winners based on the significant contributions they have made both to the ECI and their own organisations.
Among the winners on the night was Fluor Limited, which took home two awards for ED&I Initiative of the Year and the Leading Industry Safety accolade.
The ECI employer was recognised by the judges for its commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion “as a moral imperative”, alongside its aim to “innovate workplace safety”.
The ceremony also recognised ECI employers large and small that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to learning and development.
Wood was named Large Employer of the Year, while the Small/Medium Employer of the Year award went to Wright Brothers Industrial Services Limited.
Training providers from both the UK and overseas were recognised for excellence in the delivery of ECITB-approved training, products and services, while the awards also honoured three outstanding individuals at the start of their careers.
