Hosted by CIHT Scotland Chair, Malcolm Matheson, the evening welcomed industry colleagues from across Scotland, along with CIHT President Mitesh Solanki, CIHT Chief Executive Sue Percy, and members of the CIHT Scotland Committee.
For the first time, the 2025 Awards introduced two new categories: Local and National Transport Project of the Year, recognising innovative projects, strategies, policies, or behaviour change initiatives at different scales. These new awards complemented the existing categories that honour exceptional individual contributions to the industry.
The judging panel praised the exceptionally high standard of entries, noting that the competition across all categories was very close.
