Since 1997, Carole Vincent (concrete) and Anthony Fanshaw (lettering) have provided the Concrete Society with the building and engineering awards that are presented at the annual Concrete Society awards dinner. It seemed appropriate that the concrete industry presented awards made in concrete, added to which it is possible to pantone match any colour using a company's corporate colour and lettering.
Other commissions for awards include pyramids (150 x 150 x 250mm high) in red, yellow, green, blue and purple, for the British Precast Project Award, Health and Safety Awards, Innovation and Sustainability Awards. The BCA commissioned five 150mm spheres in green, mounted in slate, for their Health and Safety Awards.
In 2002, 65 small pyramids in red, white, grey and black were made for presentation at the Misha Black Memorial Lecture at the Royal College of Art. In 1992, BCA presented 50 'Captains of Industry' with the Nautilus Bowl to mark the registration of its Kitemark. Special commissions, also from BCA, were to cover the 50th anniversary of Concrete Quarterly, the Berthold Lubetkin Memorial lecture sculpture based on the interlocking parabolas of Lubetkin's penguin pool in Regent's Park Zoo and most recently the individual award, the British Precast 'Creativity in Concrete' Award 2008 and continues to supply their awards each year.
