The Considerate
Constructors Scheme - the national scheme established by the construction
industry to improve its image - is getting ready to reveal the UK’s highest
performing registered companies and suppliers of 2017.
The Scheme will be
hosting the much-anticipated 2017 National Awards on 2 and 3 November at the
renowned Four Seasons Hotel in London.
All registered
companies and suppliers had their considerate performance assessed against the
Scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice between 1 August 2016 and 31 July 2017,
as part of the awards selection process.
This year’s ceremonies
mark the second year suppliers have been eligible to win National Awards, after
Supplier Registration was introduced by the Scheme in 2014.
Steve Radley, Policy
Director of CITB (Construction Industry Training Board) and Clare Watson, Chair
of the NFB (National Federation of Builders) will be announcing whether each
winning company has received a Bronze, Silver or Gold Award for their achievements.
Runners-up for the coveted ‘Most Considerate Company’ and ‘Most Considerate
Supplier’ Awards will also be announced.
Considerate
Constructors Scheme Executive Chairman Isabel Martinson said: “The Scheme is
very excited to be hosting its Company and Supplier Awards 2017 in recognition
of the persistent and increasingly innovative efforts being made by registered
companies to improve their image as well as the image and reputation of our
industry.
“From all of the
registered companies and suppliers eligible, 115 companies and nine suppliers
will be crowned as award-winners for their outstanding commitment to the Scheme
and respectful consideration towards the public, their workforce and the environment.
“With many more
companies and suppliers registering with the Scheme and raising the bar of
considerate construction, competition is extremely fierce. As always, the
Scheme is delighted to recognise those who have pushed their performance to the
highest levels.
“We hope their
achievements will serve as an inspiration and motivation for other companies
across our industry, as well as encouraging increased collaboration and truly
considerate working practices throughout the sector.”
