Citations read out on the night by Hannah Vickers, CEO ACE UK included:

‘Ciarán Kennedy became CEO of Barrett Mahony in 2016 and under his leadership the firm demonstrated excellent achievements in improving finances and substantially increasing employee numbers after a difficult recessionary period. These were undertaken by Ciarán’s successful establishment of a programme of sustainable, strong and focused growth including the implementation of smart technologies and BIM to assist in project delivery outcomes.’

 

‘Gerry Carty has demonstrated strong leadership in RPS to rebuild the firm following a period of low growth. He reorganised the business to achieve key objectives and transformed the project delivery process.  Gerry also provided a strong commitment to work-life balance for employees and prioritised investment in employee development and training and associated HR systems.’
