The battle is on for the top spots at the 2005 Building Services Awards, with the finalists reaching for the stars.

Having waited three years for the final episode in George Lucas’ Star Wars series, science fiction fans will get a double dose of action this summer. With Revenge of the Sith in top billing at the cinemas, the 2005 Building Services Awards will be on every fan’s calendar with its Star Wars theme.

The industry’s finest will gather in the company of Darth Vader and C3PO to find out who is victorious this year. The evening will take off at 7pm on 27 June at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London.

Bringing a magic touch to the event is trickster and comedian Paul Zenon, famed for his entertaining style of conjury. And after all the awards are presented, guests can continue celebrations with the charity casino, games and music.

The event is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors: Airvent; Andrews Water Heaters; Barbour Index; Carrier; Constructing Excellence; Daikin; Draka UK; ECA; Estimation; Ferroli; Hays Building Services; Ken Cheshire Society; Lochinvar; Medem; The M&E Event; MK; NICEIC; SPX Cooling Technologies & Services; SummitSkills; and Toshiba Air Conditioning.

Make sure you don’t get caught far, far away on 27 June by booking your seat today.
