The Commissioning Specialists Association (CSA) was delighted to have returned to London on the evening of Thursday 6th October for the staging of its 7th Annual Awards Ceremony.
With a record number of submissions across the seven categories, this year’s programme again produced some truly exceptional entries from right across the commissioning arena.
The Guoman Tower Hotel, nestled between Tower Bridge and St Katherine’s Dock on the banks of the River Thames, once again played host to the presentation dinner, during which professional endeavour, product innovation, skills development, engineering prowess and service delivery was acknowledged and celebrated.
Operated by the CSA and produced by Touchwave Media, the awards programme acknowledges the skill, effort and sheer dedication of the people and businesses serving today’s complex built environment sector. With sponsorship provided by a host of leading industry names, well deserved industry-wide recognition was given to those businesses and individuals that are excelling in their commissioning endeavours.

Neil Burdess, CSA Chairman, commented: “This year’s awards proved to be another remarkable success and once again provided an excellent forum through which to celebrate business and professional excellence. I very much look forward to building on that success for the 2023 programme, and to providing another superb platform for promoting the excellent work being undertaken by commissioning engineers across the sector. I would urge everyone engaged in the commissioning arena, to consider the promotional value that this programme can deliver and ensure that your business is suitably represented.”
The call for nominations for the 2023 CSA Awards will open early in the New Year, so if you have not yet attended this highly respected event, or submitted an entry, please visit the website, and consider the options. Entries are sought across the seven categories, which cover the achievements of both companies and the individuals working within them. For the awards dinner itself, individual places, or tables of ten can be secured, with the package including reception drinks, a superb 3-course meal with wine, the awards ceremony itself and excellent post awards entertainment. It really is a night not-to-be-missed, providing a wonderful opportunity to engage with your peers and celebrate the wonderful achievements of this key industry sector.
