SCS Group scoops Construction News specialist award
5th March 2010
The SCS Group has scooped a prestigious Construction News specialist award, which celebrate the finest specialist contractors in the UK.
The firm, which supplies mechanical and electrical contractors with smoke control, ventilation and BMS solutions for residential, commercial, retail, educational and leisure developments, won the Fire Protection Specialist award at a glittering ceremony in the five star Hilton Hotel, on London's Park Lane on Thursday 4 March.
The awards, hosted by stand up comedian, presenter and actor Rufus Hound, were attended by over 600 leaders in specialist contracting in the construction industry, bringing together the key players in the industry and the ones to watch.
The SCS Group, which was established in 1992 and is based in Caerphilly, south Wales, has installed its systems in thousands of buildings nationwide. Recent projects include Westfield London, Europe's biggest indoor shopping centre and Crossharbour, a major development of 900 apartments in Canary Wharf. The firm has a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Dorset and a national network of fully qualified project engineers. SCS previously scooped the same award in 2008 and 2005, making it a hat trick for the proud recipients.
Managing Director Allan Meek said:
"We are delighted to have been given this award for the third time. It is a fantastic endorsement for SCS which is founded on the principles of excellent service, expertise and value for money."
Nick Edwards, editor of Construction News magazine commented:
"In times like this, the difference between success and just surviving can be just about getting that little bit of competitive edge. That's what the Specialists Awards is all about - showing the expertise specialist contractors bring, the quality they ensure and the innovation they create. They are the beating heart of the industry through good times and bad."
