Introduction
Herts & Beds CE Club are delighted to announce the return of our Annual Awards (#HBCEC2026) which focus attention on some of the most important issues in the construction sector and showcase the organisations, teams and projects across this area that are delivering excellence, driving change and inspiring others to adopt new and better ways of working.
All types of organisations enter the awards each year including private and public sector, micro, SME and large contractors, designers, consultants, clients and suppliers; in fact, anyone who is part of our industry’s extended family.
Our judges will select the very best submissions as winners in each category who will then go into the East Regional Awards and, ultimately, if they win at this stage, to the National Constructing Excellence Awards later in the year.
Benefits To Your Business
These awards showcase what our industry does well, driving up standards and ultimately leading to positive change. Off the back of a few turbulent years, we think it is more important than ever that businesses make noise about what they have achieved:-
- Raise awareness of the work you do and how it contributes to improving the wider reputation and image of the sector.
- Demonstrate excellence in your market, showcasing your organisation to key regional and national influencers and helping you to win more work.
- Show your customers (and your competitors) that you are committed to keeping standards high.
- Gain external validation for your company values.
- Celebrate your team’s success, boost morale and help you to attract and retain the best industry talent.
- Focus your internal strategy to embed a culture of best practice throughout your business.
- Align your business to the Constructing Excellence brand and it’s key drivers for a better industry.
