Gilbert-Ash honours award recipients at celebratory dinner

Leading construction, refurbishment and fit-out company, Gilbert-Ash, has honoured the recipients of its 2026 Make Your Mark Awards at a celebratory dinner in Belfast.

The Make Your Mark Awards recognise the daily contributions and high-calibre work delivered by Gilbert-Ash personnel as well as the outstanding projects across the firm’s diverse portfolio.

The 2026 awards were presented at the GA Summit in June, the company’s annual staff gathering at its Belfast headquarters and Union Theatre in London, while also being live streamed to teams gathered in Bristol and at the firm's Dublin offices on Dawson Street.

Earlier this month, an exclusive private dining experience was held at Waterman House to celebrate the recipients’ outstanding achievements.

The event was a formal acknowledgement of the culture built at Gilbert-Ash, where exceptional people are rewarded for their contributions to the company and its clients.

Gilbert-Ash Managing Director, Ray Hutchinson, said the awards reflected the company’s commitment to its people and the innovative spirit that drives its success.

“Every day I’m fortunate to witness the professionalism, dedication and passion that fuels our success. But moments like this remind me just how exceptional our people truly are.

“The Make Your Mark Awards were created to celebrate individuals who go above and beyond to bring our ‘As One’ culture to life - working collaboratively, pushing boundaries and driving innovation at every stage.

“The celebration dinner was well-deserved recognition of the culture we have built together at Gilbert-Ash.”

The awards align with the company’s broader Make Your Mark campaign, which showcases the achievements of staff working on major construction and fit‑out projects, such as the National Portrait Gallery, the Royal College of Music and The Everyman Theatre.
