DAVID TONG CUP

David Tong was a much respected member and Honorary Court Assistant of the Company. He was an Architect by profession and designed not only our Company Badges and Armorial Bearings but also the Loving Cup and Case that is the subject of this award. The Cup is kept in a wooden case that was also designed by David and constructed by PM Michael May.

The David Tong Cup was kindly donated to the Company by David, and is now presented each year by the Worshipful Company of Constructors to a Graduate of London South Bank University (LSBU) who demonstrates the best personal achievement in their final year. The David Tong Cup, one of the most modern of Loving Cup designs and was crafted by the award winning goldsmith John Willmin, who also assisted David with the design.

David was very much a “self-made” man, and he very much wanted this award to be focused on students who had overcome difficulty to achieve their aims.

CONSTRUCTORS’ PRIZE

In conjunction with the University of Westminster the Worshipful Company of Constructors makes an annual award to the highest performing student in the final year of their degree studies at the University. This award is only made to final year students who have been able to gain employment, including any employed part-time students. The student is nominated by the Head of the Construction Department, and the award is adjudicated and endorsed by the Company’s Scholarship and Awards Committee.

Constructors Prize: Christopher Andrew

The 2026 Constructor’s Prize is presented to Christopher Andrew for his unwavering commitment to excellence and being the best performing part-time student in the construction area at the University of Westminster.

Over the course of his studies, Christopher has set a benchmark for his peers, achieving standout marks such as 92% in Building Pathology and 89% in Building Design.

Perhaps, most impressive, is Christopher’s sheer dedication to his studies. Throughout his time at the university, he navigated the significant commute from Norfolk with a perfect attendance record, never allowing distance to become a barrier to engagement. Christopher is a deserving recipient whose hard work, resilience, and technical brilliance mark him as a future leader in the construction industry.

David Tong Cup: Greg Robson

Greg Robson recently graduated with a highest mark in class achieving a First Class Honours from the BSc Architectural Technology course at London South Bank University.

Greg is a highly driven individual who completed the Architectural Technology five-year programme whilst also working in the industry.

The long hours of commute to and from LSBU and his work commitments have not dampened Greg’s commitment to his studies.

Greg is always open to challenge and pushing himself to perform to his best. This is clearly demonstrated through the excellent quality of work that he has consistently produced throughout the degree programme as well as in all the extracurricular activities.

He is keen in sharing his knowledge from the industry to other fellow students, especially the full-time students and being the role model in class.
