Matthew Lugg, CIHT President said:
“Our awards recognise the remarkable achievement of those working in highways and transportation. It is evident that highways & transportation plays a central and vital role in supporting a prosperous, equitable and healthy society. We are seeing recognition from government around our call for more certainty around funding of transport projects and maintenance of our transport assets at the national and local level. CIHT will continue to push for real delivery on the infrastructure projects that have been planned.”
This award recognises technological innovation in the industry, this could be in terms of research, machinery, products, software or data analysis.
