It’s a day of great excitement for the select band of companies which has made it through the rigorous initial judging process. Judges were faced with a mountain of entries in almost every category as Britain’s construction industry went all out to prove its capabilities.

Weeding out the best entries proved to be a tricky task, but we’ve finally got a shortlist of the top performing companies in the UK. If you’re on the list, congratulations. Being a finalist is a huge achievement and means you can enjoy the anticipation leading up to this year’s Awards evening and wondering whether you’ll beat your competition.

It will be a fantastic evening with great entertainment, good food, a charity casino and plenty of surprises. It’s an ideal opportunity to entertain your colleagues, clients and friends, network with movers and shakers in the industry, and enjoy being one of the best firms in construction.
