The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) has opened entries for its Industry Awards 2026 in the UK, following what it described as a record-breaking programme last year. The awards ceremony will take place on October 22, following the BESA Annual Conference earlier the same day.
The programme recognises the achievements of individuals, teams and organisations that have contributed to the development of the building services sector over the past 12 months. The deadline for entries is July 10. While some of the 22 categories are exclusive to BESA members, many are open to the wider sector. Entry is free of charge.
Categories cover areas including building safety, sustainability and recruitment. Awards include Excellence in Competence and Compliance, Trainee of the Year, Product Innovation, Service and Maintenance Contractor of the Year, and Ventilation Hygiene Contractor of the Year. Separate Contractor of the Year awards are available for companies with turnover under and over £5 million (approx. $6.3 million), leading to the National Contractor of the Year award.
The awards also include multiple categories aimed at apprentices and young professionals. An expert judging panel chaired by BESA technical director Kevin Morrissey will assess entries across all 22 categories.
“The industry has been through a turbulent period over the past few years, but that has not stopped excellent people and companies delivering world class projects and innovations,” said Kevin Morrissey, Technical Director at BESA. “The BESA Awards continue to grow in size, scope and influence by providing a platform to celebrate all this amazing work and showcase the vital contribution our members and the wider sector make to society by delivering a high quality built environment.”
