Faithful+Gould, a subsidiary of engineering and project management consultancy Atkins, said it has won the Consultant of the Year award for its projects in Saudi Arabia at a key ceremony held in Riyadh.

The event, attended by several high-profile industry leaders, was held at the Marriott Hotel.

A leading global integrated project and programme management consultant, Faithful+Gould said this award recognises firms and consultants who have established a reputation for their commitment to quality and leadership in the industry across a wide range of client services.

An independent judging panel of industry experts awarded Faithful+Gould the title after noting the consulting firm’s track record of delivering successful projects and committing to investing in its resources, people, and systems therefore delivering above and beyond on projects.

With two wins already under its belt; Consultant of the Year as well as Commercial Management Firm of the Year – both in Qatar, Faithful+Gould has emerged quietly in the third quarter of a somewhat transformational year for the firm; to be lauded for a third time for its outstanding contributions to the industry across the entire breadth of project management and commercial advisory services during this award season, said a statement from the company.

On the win, Campbell Gray, the managing director of Faithful+Gould in the Middle East, said: "It’s definitely an honour to be recognised a second time by our industry peers and to be chosen from amongst such worthy competitors."

"We are always working quietly and diligently doing our best for our clients and this recognition is certainly down to the immense talent and the hard work of our people as well as the support and vision of our clients that we could not do without," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
