The jury first deliberated upon the Nominations put forth, for the CONSTRUCTION WORLD Person of the Year 2024, in the public and private sectors. Researched and presented by the CW editorial team, the nominations included construction heroes who have enjoyed remarkable achievements this year and, through their efforts, propelled the organisation and industry forward. To arrive at the Fastest Growing Companies, a report with a quantitative analysis of construction companies – data sourced from published annual reports and results published by companies – was presented to the panel to allow them to assess the Fastest Growing companies in the Large, Medium and Small categories. (See Methodology on next page). This data was collated and compiled by FIRST Construction Council, a non-profit trust set up in 2003 to empower and enable the construction community through information and policy advocacy. The council also engages in researching information and ranking construction and infrastructure companies.
