Awards 2021

The ANC awards promote and recognise excellence among UK acoustic consultants and raise the profile of acoustics. They look for examples of work that demonstrate value and quality for the client, collaboration with project stakeholders, have potential to benefit future projects and go beyond current good practice.

This year’s winners were revealed on Thursday 25th November and presented with their awards by Bridget Shield MBE. All the shortlisted entrants gave a five minute presentation during the day and an award was given for the best presentation based on the votes of the audience.
