The construction industry in the North West celebrated the achievements of the region’s best projects, organisations and individuals last week at a glittering event attended by 415 guests in Manchester.

Marking the 12th annual North West Construction awards, a ceremony and dinner was hosted by the University of Salford, The Centre for Construction Innovation and Constructing Excellence at the Principal Hotel on July 6th.

A total of 18 awards were given out over the duration of the evening for outstanding examples in categories such as health, safety & wellbeing, and offsite construction.

It is a privilege to witness how the sector in the North West is responding to both the challenges of the market place and a changing policy environment.

Winners from certain categories will now be put forward for the Constructing Excellence National Final, which will take place later in the year.
