Derby-based Specialist Contractor, Cawarden, has been ‘highly commended’ at an industry awards ceremony in Nottingham.
In its first year of entry, the company was presented with the ‘SME of the Year’ 2023 Highly Commended trophy by Maz Patel, CEO of Scope Group, at the Constructing Excellence Midlands Awards.
Rodgers Leask, Morrison Design and Excelsior Land were also shortlisted, but it was Cawarden’s work and ethos that shone through while Kori Construction took the top spot for the category.
We’re all over the moon with this award. The recognition represents exceptional business growth over the past 12 months and all the hard work and dedication from everyone on-site and in the office who goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional projects for our clients across the UK. Safety, quality, service and sustainability are always at the heart of everything we do. Thank you to Andrew Carpenter and all the team at Constructing Excellence for organising such a fantastic evening and ceremony in Nottingham to celebrate the best of the sector.”
