Turner & Townsend has been recognised as ‘Overall Professional Service Firm of the Year’. Additionally, they have reclaimed the ‘Construction Sector Firm of the Year’ award for a second year in a row. SAPSA awarded this recognition at the 2020 South African Professional Service Awards.
Every year, SAPSA recognizes outstanding achievements in fields such as construction, engineering, architecture, law, and finance. A highly experienced panel of industry leaders judges the awards, which honor excellence in each sector.
This includes transformation, customer service and contribution to the community and commitment to ethical best practice.
Turner & Townsend also had six finalists nominated in the categories of ‘Woman Professional of the Year’, ‘Young Construction Sector Professional of the Year’ and ‘Construction Sector Professional of the Year’. Director Michelle Jackson received a special judges’ commendation for the latter.
Stephen McCartney, Regional Managing Director Africa, commented:
“The combined strengths of our South Africa business has placed us in a competitive position and we are delighted to be recognised among other world class local and international brands within the professional services industry and the construction sector.”
The organizers planned to hold the awards dinner in March; however, President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a National State of Disaster, and the resulting lockdown regulations forced them to postpone the event indefinitely. The organizers announced the winners virtually in June.
Turner & Townsend currently manages The City of Cape Town Transport Project, which began development in 2015 and aims to complete in 2028. In addition, the implementation of Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) systems in South Africa’s major cities is a core element of the National Public Transport Strategy. This strategy and action plan guide the development.
