The Special Recognition award winner in 2022 is James Peacock, Project Quantity Surveyor

What the nominators said…
Passionate about his professional and the Solomons ethos, James was highlighted for mentoring and supporting others, seeking out business development opportunities while at the same time pushing hard to drive forward his own development. “His outlook and ambition are infectious”, said one nominator. James is clearly having an impact – the scary thing is, it’s still early days in his career!

What the judges said…
James joined us with a focus and dedication to becoming the very best that he could be and has made his mark in the team in multiple ways. But alongside an ambition to progress, James is committed to sharing his skills, experience and knowledge with others in the team – and at all levels. He is open, honest, caring and supportive and always takes time to engage with those who come to him with technical questions or for advice and helping team mates through personal challenges and in achieving their own development goals. But alongside this, and in a way that warms Dominic’s heart to the core, he has a keen eye for business opportunity. He will also be part of the senior team undertaking the Constructing Excellence Collaboration in Construction Diploma bringing new skills and services into our regional teams. We see a very bright future ahead for James. We’re delighted his efforts have been noticed and appreciated by such a broad range of team members at all levels. Quite an endorsement.

What James said…
“When I heard the news, I overwhelmed with pride to be recognised by my peers. I count myself lucky to be given the platform to achieve and perform at this level. It goes without saying to getting the Special Recognition award would not be possible without the support of the whole Solomons team across all levels.”
