The Sir Albert Costain Memorial Awards
These awards were established several decades ago in memory of Sir Albert Costain, a grandson of our founder Richard Costain. Sir Albert, a former Group Director, was a founding member of the 21 Club in 1954, was passionate about education, training and career development.
The 21 Club established the Sir Albert Costain Memorial Awards (SACMA) to encourage and recognise the achievements of trainees of all disciplines. This now includes graduates, apprentices, trainees and includes anyone engaging in further development, so keeping the ethos of Sir Albert alive in an up to date context.
There are three award winners each year, selected by a panel from the Club committee from nominations submitted by company employees and line managers.
The prize for each winner is a certificate and a cheque. The awards are presented to the winners by the Group CEO at the Club's Annual Dinner
