Today has seen the announcement of the outstanding companies and projects showcasing good practice within the highways and transportation industry that have been successful at CIHT’s prestigious Annual Awards. 

Deborah Sims, CIHT President said: 

The CIHT Awards recognise and celebrate the remarkable achievements of those working in our highways and transportation sector, and this year it seems even more poignant to remember the importance of our sector and what we continue to deliver.

The last 18 months have been one of unrivalled change and there have been many challenges for us all to overcome in our personal and professional lives.

What has been great to see is that even during these challenging times, the highways and transportation sector has risen to this challenge, responded positively and found many opportunities to highlight success.

This year we have received over 150 excellent entries across all our 11 categories. We have had such a high standard of entries this year, that we would like to congratulate all the entries who were awarded prizes today
