Winners
The National Student Awards 2011 are now complete.
The regional and national judges were once again hugely
impressed by the enthusiasm and commitment expressed by all the
candidates whom, each year, make the decision making harder and
harder.
In September, ten regional finalists went head to head at the
'Best of Best' Awards Dinner at Claridge's, to determine the
national winner.
Congratulations go to Elsie North who is
studying Quantity Surveying part time at Kingston University, while
working for Faithful+Gould in London. Elsie said, "I'm really
amazed and thrilled. It was great to reach the national final
- but to actually win! I would like to thank my employers who
have been 100% supportive of me, so I'm very happy to give
something back. I also think it's really important to be able
to raise awareness to what women in the property and construction
industry can achieve so this Award is a great start."
Such was the calibre of the finalists that the judges felt
compelled to give two special 'Highly Commended' awards.
These went to Lise-Ann Brennan,
studying Architecture at Birmingham Institute of Art and Design and
Gillian Steele, studying Architectural Engineering
at the University of Cardiff.
