Steven Poliri, winner of the Emerging Talent Award at the 2019 Association of University Directors of Estates (AUDE) awards.

Steven was presented with the award for the outstanding contributions he has made within the University’s Estates Department.

At the awards evening, the Estates Department were also commended for their Estates Charity Group and the Estates Modelling Tool.

Emerging talent

AUDE's Emerging Talent Award recognises an individual who, at a relatively early stage in their estates and facilities management career, is seen to have enormous potential for the future and is already making a real impact.

Steven has worked on the delivery of a number of significant capital projects at the University, including the extension and refurbishment of St Cecilia’s Hall.

The St Cecilia's Hall refurbishment project has already won a number of prestigious awards, including from the Royal Institute of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) and the Royal Incorporation of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

I’m honoured to be the recipient of this award and would like to thank my colleagues for their support, and AUDE for giving me the award. I work with a great team and love contributing to the positive impact that the University’s estate makes on the built environment of Edinburgh and the wellbeing of the staff, students and residents in the city.
