Best Places To Work shortlist revealed

The shortlist for this year’s Best Places to Work in Construction is out! Now in its second year, the Awards attracted many entries, with companies keen to be seen to be the best employer in construction.

The winners will be announced at a gala lunch on 7 June at the ‘home of cricket’, Lord’s, London.

A key part of the Best Places to Work in Construction Awards, sponsored by ConstructionSkills and Hays Construction, is that it is your employees who decide whether you win one of the prestigious awards.

Companies that enter each year gain the added benefit of being able to compare their scores year-on-year. As this is the second year of the Awards, we have been able to add a sixth category for most improved performance.

The Awards will be presented at the gala lunch on 7 June, which starts with a drinks reception, followed by a three-course meal and two excellent guest speakers. Tours of Lord’s after the event are available.

All shortlisted companies will be invited to the event, but other firms are very welcome to attend this key networking opportunity.

See you there!
