The MEP awards are judged by an independent panel of industry experts, with particular focus on recognising achievements at project and company level. They were established to recognise the organisations that design and install the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, which are fundamental to development in the Middle East. They also honoured those companies that invest in their people by providing training and insisting on the highest health and safety standards. “This vote, by the industry, in our capability is very well received. With an impressive judging panel including past presidents from both CIBSE and ASHRAE, the quality of our submissions were properly recognised and won through.” commented Richard Smith, Atkins Technical Director – Middle East & India.
