As well as the CEO of the Year Award, the ceremony will also bestow a Lifetime Achievement Award, recognising an industry leader who has positively contributed to our sector throughout their career.

Judging panel chair, Roger Flanagan said: “The decision of the judging panel was extremely difficult, the quality of all the entrants was to a high standard. It was a tough decision to exclude some outstanding candidates, which demonstrates the quality and depth of leadership in professional services engineering businesses.”

Commenting on the awards, Hannah Vickers, chief executive of ACE said: “I’m looking forward to celebrating the best that the industry has to offer on 5 November and hope you will join us for what promises to be a wonderful night of celebration.
