About the Construction News Awards
Organised by Construction News, the awards are widely regarded as one of the largest and most prestigious recognitions in the UK construction sector.
Each year, they bring together leading contractors, clients and industry experts to celebrate organisations delivering excellence across areas such as performance, innovation, workforce development and culture. Entries are reviewed by an independent panel of over 100 senior industry figures, providing external validation of the impact companies are making.
Now in their 30th year, the awards continue to set the benchmark for industry recognition across the UK construction industry.
Being shortlisted places VGC alongside leading contractors in the UK, recognising the quality, consistency and impact of its work across major infrastructure and construction projects.
Recognising Diversity and Inclusion
VGC is proud to be shortlisted in the Diversity and Inclusion Excellence – 10 Year Anniversary category, which highlights organisations demonstrating long-term commitment to creating a more inclusive workforce.
This includes initiatives that improve access to opportunities, support underrepresented groups, and embed inclusive practices across projects and teams, including VGC’s support for NEETs, veterans, reservists and military families, and young people in custody.
These initiatives form part of VGC’s broader approach to building a diverse and sustainable workforce for the future of the construction industry, highlighting its role in driving meaningful change across the sector.
Commitment to Health, Safety and Wellbeing
The Health, Safety and Wellbeing Excellence (Company) category recognises organisations that are driving high standards in workplace safety while also prioritising the wellbeing of their workforce.
VGC’s shortlisting reflects a sustained focus on workforce safety and wellbeing, supported by company-wide initiatives and continuous improvement across its project portfolio, ensuring that both physical safety and mental wellbeing remain central to its operations.
This includes recent health and safety campaigns and its ongoing commitment to excellence through Chartership.
