Stafford Surfaces, a provider of high-end interior solutions in the Caribbean, had a pivotal role in the 2025 Governor’s Award for Design and Construction Excellence.
In a historic sweep for the firm, Stafford Surfaces served as the specialised flooring
contractor for all three projects shortlisted in the ‘Commercial’ category, including the top prize winner: the John Gray High School project.
The Governor’s Award, presented at Government House on 27 February 2026, is the
Cayman Islands’ highest honour for the built environment. This year’s judging focused on
projects that demonstrate a deep responsibility to place, resilience and community
impact.
A landmark win for education
As a key trade contractor for the John Gray High School, Stafford Surfaces provided the
durable, high-performance flooring essential for a facility that serves over 1,000 students and doubles as a primary hurricane shelter for the Islands.
Randy Stafford of Stafford Surfaces said, “Our history with educational facilities across both Bermuda and the Cayman Islands has always been rooted in providing surfaces which look great and provide comfort underfoot for all. Being part of the winning team for John Gray High School reinforces our commitment to design that not only looks great but
enhances usage and productivity in the public spaces.”
Setting the standard in hospitality and corporate design
Beyond the top award, Stafford Surfaces’ expertise was showcased in the other two
shortlisted finalists:
- Hotel Indigo: A flagship hospitality project defining modern luxury in Grand
Cayman - Cricket Square 7 (Pavilion East): A benchmark for sustainable, high-end corporate
office space
This achievement highlights Stafford Surfaces’ unique position as the common thread of
quality across the most significant architectural developments in the region.
