Winners will be revealed during a gala night at UK Construction Week at the Vox, NEC Birmingham on October 18.
One of the most prized awards on the night will be for ‘Best Main Contractor To Work For (Over £250m Turnover)’. A range of leading firms have been initially shortlisted for this title including Carillion, BAM and Willmott Dixon, but competition will be fierce, with Kier Group, Amey, Galliford Try and 16 others also nominated.

An array of high-profile clients has been put forward for the title of ‘Best Client To Work For (Private Sector)’ covering a host of industries. The historic University of Cambridge has been nominated, along with Heathrow Airport and gas utility supplier, National Grid.
Nominations are also in for the title of ‘Best Client To Work With (Public Sector)’ with the local city councils of Liverpool, Birmingham and Coventry all nominated, as well as the Ministry of Justice and the BBC.
