"The Future Leaders competition is a great measuring and indication tool. It allows you to measure your performance and capability against that of your colleagues within the industry and also indicate, to your peers, your level of commitment."

Ms Evie Boustanzi, Senior Project Manager, Mace

"An opportunity is what you make it. The competition raises your profile in challenging ways that keep reminding you, everyone is directly responsible for the improved future of the industry. What you do with this 'burden' is up to you. I have enjoyed the past year immensely."

Mr Stewart Priddle, Managing Director, Projects (SW) Ltd

"It was a great feeling to be selected as one of the 30 future leaders of construction and it gave me a real sense of achievement knowing that I had being recognised for what I was doing in the industry. Since the awards business has continued to be buoyant and given me that extra bit of drive to push forward and grow the company. I think it also gave a boost to my staff knowing they were part of the team behind me."
