West Midlands Winners go on to win at National Awards!
We are very excited to congratulate two of our CE West Midlands Awards 2024 winning projects for their wins at the Constructing Excellence National Awards 2024!
Huge Congratulations to Pulse Consult, Stratford-on-Avon District Council, Stratford Town Trust, Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP) (now Coventry City Council) for Stratford Riverside which won the Delivering Value Award and also to VINCI Building UK, Birmingham Airport, D5 Architects LLP, Cundall or their Next Generation Security Project, Birmingham Airport which won the Integration and Collaborative Working Award.
Three Winning Facts about the Stratford Riverside project:
1. Prioritising Stakeholders- Harnessing the opinions and support of a wide range of stakeholders and project partners was essential. Volunteers, business support, community groups, statutory bodies all came to the table, offered direct help to make it possible. Through the District Council’s central role and LEP support, something special was achieved.
2. Leveraging value- Unlike commercially driven projects, this had to drive value from every pound spent for the improvement of biodiversity, residents and visitors. This engendered genuine support and a will to achieve value.
3. Turning around 30 years of neglect- The majority of this site had unfortunately been neglected and left unmanaged for some 30 years. This project turned this around and set in motion a legacy fund created by biodiversity offset credits to fund the next 3 decades of planned maintenance.
Three Winning Facts about Next Generation Security Project – Birmingham Airport:
1. Collaborative processes fostered a one-team approach that championed client needs.
2. Coordination across disciplines bolstered successful delivery of this highly complex project, to programme and in a live operational environment.
3.Ongoing communication enabled delivery with zero impact to airport operations or customer experience.
