If you haven't already booked your seat for the 2006 Building Services Awards, time is running out…

It's that time once again. No, not the start of the football season, but the Building Services Awards.

This year's event kicks off on 26 June at London's Grosvenor House Hotel. And with the 2006 World Cup the month's hot topic, guests can expect a night of football-themed celebrations.

Last year, almost 1000 guests came to celebrate with the very best players in the industry and this year promises to be bigger and better then ever.

The shortlist of finalists is now complete, with the addition of two categories: M&E Contractor and The Ones to Watch. There are some great entries this year, so book a place for the industry's top event.
