Manama: Bahrain has three finalists in MEED’s recognition scheme honouring completed projects in the Gulf region.
A total of 94 projects from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are competing for honours in 16 different categories of this year’s MEED Projects Awards, in association with Mashreq.
Bahrain’s finalists are in the following categories: Commercial Project of the Year, Residential Project of the Year and Small Project of the Year.
Mashreq Bank senior vice-president Mohammad Khader Al Shouli said, “Across the region, contractors, consultants and suppliers alike are expecting a better year ahead due to improved oil prices and government reforms. As headline sponsor of the MEED Projects Awards, Mashreq is very proud to support the construction sector’s key stakeholders in being recognised for quality and success in their projects. We congratulate all the finalists for delivering and contributing towards the growth and sustainability of the industry.
“The 2018 awards programme saw a 24 per cent increase in shortlisted organisations compared with the previous edition, a testament to the quality of completed projects being delivered across the GCC,” said MEED programme director Becky Crayman.
GCC winners will be announced on May 2 at the Westin Mina Seyahi in Dubai at a gathering of the industry’s top leaders to celebrate the success and significant contributions of the region’s top-quality projects.
