Amiri Construction is a building contracting business that has established a reputation for delivering quality projects across a variety of market sectors. http://www.amiriconstruction.co.uk Copyright (C) Amiri Construction Ltd 2008 Once again an Amiri event was blessed with stunning weather and the team at "Golf at Goodwood" made sure that everything else reached the usual high standards. With a prize for the best Stapleford points score in the year there was keen but friendly rivalry among the 6 guests and 2 hosts. It was of little surprise to see club member and director of HNW Architects Ken Watson take the honours this time around with a fantastic 40 points. He also used his course knowledge to win the "closest to the pin" challenge, although an effort from Gary Rumbell of C&G Properties with his blue wonderball came very close. Philip Piper of Winchester based Piper Whitlock Architects took the longest drive competition up the final fairway. http://www.amiriconstruction.co.uk/index.php?newsid=38 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:28:08 +0100 Great to see that the Emmaus Hampshire community scheme, completed last year, was shortlisted for the Housing Design Awards 2010.
