Rob Marsh, commercial manager for Metsec GCC, said: “Gaining recognition from a ceremony as prestigious as the Big Project Middle East Awards is a great honour. We’re consistently analysing demand to ensure our products and services are up to date and enable customers to work more efficiently.
“It was humbling to be among some of the most innovative construction companies from across the MENA region and this win highlights our commitment to supporting structural engineers from the early specification stage, enabling them to optimise and streamline their design to the required standards, while providing cost-effective, efficient and lighter purlins solutions.”
