The 2021 Middle East Consultant Awards recognised 27 winners during a gala dinner that was held last night (Feb 2) at the Ritz Carlton JBR in Dubai. The seventh edition of the annual consultant focused awards ceremony welcomed over 230 guests from across the GCC.
The event broke a record in terms of nominations achieved across its various categories – 215 submissions were recorded in total. Following an intensive first round of eliminations by the magazine’s editorial team, the panel of judges still had over 140 nominations to contend with, with each category allowing for a maximum of three shortlisted companies, individuals and projects. The second round of judging took place virtually, while the panel of judges included executives and academics connected with the regional construction industry.
The event was supported by Social Media Partner: WSP; Silver Sponsors: AECOM, HKA, K-Tech Consulting, LWK+Partners, NEB and RSP, and Bronze Sponsors: Kairnial and Serco.
