Mabey Hire has been selected by the judges as a finalist in the Digital Construction Excellence category of the 2018 Construction News Specialists Awards, the only national awards that recognises the best specialist contractors from across the UK.
To decide the winners, all finalists will attend face-to-face judging by the panel of more than 60 judges, made up from the UK's largest construction firms and the leaders of the country's major projects, including:
- Cormac MacCrann, Managing Director, Canary Wharf Contractors
- Dale Turner, Director of Procurement and Supply Chain, Skanska UK
- Lucy Homer, Executive General Manager, design and technical, Lendlease

The Construction News Specialists Awards ensures that whatever size or specialism, there is an appropriate avenue to showcase the achievements of specialist contractors.
Dave Holland, Engineering Director for Mabey Hire, said: "We are extremely proud to be named a finalist in the Digital Construction Excellence category as an acknowledgement of our Digital Engineering team's hard work in 2017."
"Having achieved BIM Certification earlier this year, this nomination further demonstrates how we are developing Digital, BIM and VR capabilities to solve customer challenges more quickly, safely and efficiently."
"We have a strategy in place where we will fully integrate these capabilities within all our engineering teams throughout the UK by mid-2018, transforming how engineers work and collaborate."
Construction News editor Tom Fitzpatrick said: "Specialists are continuing to up their game in difficult economic circumstances. Our expert judges have now shortlisted the companies who represent the best of the people, initiatives and projects in the construction industry supply chain. CN will be publishing features on each of the shortlisted entrants in the coming weeks and best of luck to all involved as they now go to the second stage of presenting their work face-to-face with our judges.”
The winners will be announced on 8 March 2018 at a glamorous ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London where over 1,000 of the industry elite will join together for a night of entertainment, celebration and networking.
