The Considerate Constructors Scheme – the national scheme established by the construction industry to improve its image – has awarded Connect Plus Services as the 2016 Most Considerate Company, within the annual turnover band of £10m and over.
The Considerate Constructors Scheme’s National Awards are one of the most respected accolades in UK construction. By registering with the Scheme, companies and suppliers demonstrate a strong commitment to improving the image of the industry.
The awards recognise the highest performing companies and suppliers which have demonstrated excellence in relation to the community, the environment and their workforce.
The prestigious awards ceremony took place on 10th and 11th November at the Four Seasons hotel in London.
Based in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, Connect Plus Services undertakes planned and reactive highway maintenance works to sections of the M25 motorway and its key arterial link roads as part of a 30-year contract with Highways England.
According to the Monitor’s report, which is used to assess compliance against the Scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice, the enthusiastic and safety-conscious team at Connect Plus Services are constantly striving to improve its considerate performance. The Scheme-registered company were applauded for their constant refinement of depot and site safety, and consideration of its workforce.
In total 21 Gold, 32 Silver and 43 Bronze awards were presented to Registered Companies, and two Gold, one Silver and four Bronze awards to registered suppliers. Of the Gold Award winners, seven companies were shortlisted and received the ‘Most Considerate Company Runner-Up’ and one supplier the ‘Most Considerate Supplier Runner-Up’.
Considerate Constructors Scheme Executive Chairman Isabel Martinson said:
“Congratulations to all award winners. The Scheme is hugely proud to honour the great achievements of top performing registered companies and suppliers. Over 900 companies and suppliers registered with the Scheme in the past 12 months, representing significant growth on the previous year, and making competition even tougher. With such high demand for construction activity across the UK, it is essential that the industry works collaboratively and continues to raise standards.”
Connect Plus Services Managing Director Brian Johns said: “We are proud of the work we do to demonstrate our continual commitment to the Scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice. I am delighted that our hard work and dedication to being a considerate constructor has been recognised by the CCS. I would like to thank everyone at Connect Plus Services for their contribution to the recognition we have achieved in these awards.
