The CCS Awards recognises projects which exceed expectations to go above and beyond, celebrating businesses that demonstrate an exemplar approach to safety, planning, stakeholder engagement, site and surrounding environment, and cleanliness.
The coveted awards, held on Friday 13 May, at the Merchant Taylors' Hall, were attended by many of the City’s important figureheads, including the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor (Alderman), Vincent Keaveny, who presented the awards.
Up against some tough competition amongst London’s most celebrated contractors and sub-contractors, ISG celebrated walking away with three gold awards for sites; 160 QVS and Northcliffe House (UK fit out) and the Millennium Bridge House project (UK construction).

ISG's UK fit out – agility, project team have been transforming the office space for our repeat client landlord; delivering an extensive fit out spanning across a two year delivery. From the basement plant replacement to the roof terrace development, the building has remained operational throughout and was recently handed over with a BREEAM Very Good accreditation. Alongside a previous City of London CCS gold award win, which the team were awarded back in 2021.
An exhaustive list of stakeholders – both internally and externally – saw the project team having to consider various important community groups and organisations in the local area, being proactive in understanding stakeholder needs and speaking frankly about the seriousness of any arising issues and how they would be dealt with.
Working hard to leave a lasting legacy on the project, the team collected over £22,000 in donations for a multitude of worthwhile causes, engaging again with key stakeholders in the surrounding environment to identify the projects which will have the biggest positive impact on the community.
ISG's senior project manager on the 160 QVS development, Richard McPherson, commented: "To win a gold award two years in a row is a huge honour. But nothing happens by chance, and we've worked hard to foster a fantastic team culture and mutual appreciation for the environment and people around us. We've always seen ourselves as guests in the community, working to community requirements and not the other way around, and we've always been very respectful of this."
