Turner & Townsend also had six finalists nominated in the categories of ‘Woman Professional of the Year’, ‘Young Construction Sector Professional of the Year’ and ‘Construction Sector Professional of the Year’. Director Michelle Jackson received a special judges’ commendation for the latter.
Stephen McCartney, Regional Managing Director Africa, commented:
“The combined strengths of our South Africa business has placed us in a competitive position and we are delighted to be recognised among other world class local and international brands within the professional services industry and the construction sector.”
The awards dinner was to be held in March, however, the declaration of the National State of Disaster by President Cyril Ramaphosa and subsequent lockdown regulations led to an indefinite postponement of the event and the winners were announced virtually in June.
