Shortlist announced for Constructing Excellence awards
Organised by the Centre for Knowledge Exchange at Leeds Beckett University, the awards recognise and celebrate the organisations, companies and project teams involved in delivering excellence in construction across 13 different categories. Each category, sponsored by Atlas Cloud, represents the core themes underpinning the Constructing Excellence movement and improvement agenda and include integration and collaborative working, leadership and people development and Building Information Modelling (BIM) Project of the Year.
Leading the way are Carillion Morgan Sindall and Henry Boot Construction with six nominations, Costain with five and A-one+ Integrated Services, Interserve and Kier Group with four.
All the winners will be revealed at a gala presentation evening on Friday 1 July in Leeds.
Over the last eight years the CEYH awards have grown to be one of the highlights of the regional construction calendar and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever with more than 400 construction professionals expected to attend, representing a broad cross section of the construction industry.
Speaking ahead of the event, Pete Watson, CEO of Atlas Cloud, said: “We are delighted to sponsor the Construction Excellence Yorkshire and Humber Awards 2016 for the second consecutive year. We have seen a huge shift in technology enhancement in the regions with mobile teams working on some of the largest infrastructure projects in the country such as HS2, MAG, Crossrail 2 and Hinkley Point. This region has superb talent and is working on some of the best projects and we really need to be shouting about it.”
The CEYH charity partner for this year will be the Yorkshire Kidney Research Fund, a charity that supports and promotes research to improve the lives of adults and children suffering from a variety of kidney disorders. The charity relies solely on donations and volunteers to support everything they do.
