Why we are sponsoring CESWIt’s great to be back for the eight year as sponsor and sixth as headline sponsor to the CESW Awards. Like last year, we are organising both the awards night and judging on behalf of CESW (you did ask us to come back). We keep coming back for more because despite the wealth of award schemes aimed at the construction sector, we believe there is a lack of celebration of regional success and that is what tonight is all about. It’s about celebrating the projects (and individuals) that impact us not just on a professional level but a personal one too, in our own communities. By lifting up our regional successes, we can then go on to promote the good work at a national level (We may be biased but we think the South West does pretty well at this!).

This ethos and our drive for increased early contractor involvement enables us to help clients, stakeholders and framework partners to meet local, national and global goals in achieving the net zero carbon ambition, working with communities to deliver a net zero future which is increasingly at the heart of Conservation and Regeneration projects.
