Willmot Dixon increased its tally of gold medals at the prestigious Construction Manager of the Year awards with Matt Keefe winning gold in his category of New Build/Refurbishment £12-20m for Gildredge Free School.
He was joined by Sean McNicholas who won silver for leading Department for Education office, Darlington and Cardiff’s Rob Woolcock for Custody suite for South Wales Police.

In a testament to the quality of our project teams, no other company has won more gold medals during the history of the awards, which are there to celebrate and recognise the very best in project management.
The CIOB said:
"Becoming a finalist shows flair and skill. Winning a category is a sure sign of inspiring leadership. Scooping the top award demonstrates that the winner is amongst the very best of their generation. Due to the exceptionally high standards of the judging process project managers who reach the CMYA UK finals are invited to become a Chartered Construction Manager, or Chartered Builder, without undergoing our Professional Review, subject to recommendation by the judges. It is a fast track to CIOB membership (MCIOB)."
