Consulting Firm of the Year

This category will recognise the specialist geotechnical consultancy, or geotechnical division within a major consultant, that can demonstrate achievement of clear business milestones over the last year and a half.

The award will celebrate firms that have continually delivered innovation, quality and value between January 2020 to July 2021, while growing in terms of revenue, profits and staff numbers.

Entrants must demonstrate how they have improved their services and use evidence from projects to show how the business’s technical abilities have gone beyond the expected level of service for clients and the supply chain.

We recognise that the Covid-19 pandemic might have had an adverse effect on some companies, initiatives and projects. We still strongly encourage companies and teams to enter this year’s GE Awards, as their pandemic response strategy will also be considered in the judging.

Key criteria:

• Successful project delivery that demonstrates continued technical excellence
• Demonstration of partnering capabilities and collaborative working
• Development of strong relationships with clients, project partners and supply chain that have benefitted the business and its ability to deliver work above the expected standard
• Delivery of growth in terms of revenue, profits, size of projects and staff numbers

Additional text (other than diagram annotation) included in supporting documents will not be used by the judging panel.
