Commenting on the companies involvement in the awards, Mark Bull, Managing Director of Hill McGlynn said: “Hill McGlynn is fully committed to nurturing and supporting those who are the lifeblood of the industry – those shaping the landmarks and infrastructures for future generations to enjoy.  In the current economic climate, where candidates face stiffer competition in the jobs market than ever before, initiatives such as the New Civil Engineer Gradate Awards provide an important platform for them to showcase their skills, talent and passion for the profession – we are delighted to be on board.”

Entries to the awards close on 19th September 2009 and winners will be announced at an awards presentation lunch in December.
