2010

Tuesday May 11th saw the British Precast Annual Conference and Annual Awards take place at the Concrete2010 event.
Around 250 delegates attended during the day and visited the 41 exhibitors and advisory desks as well as enjoying a host of top presentations, including a very well received talk from award-winning architect, Rab Bennetts and HSE Board Member, Robin Dahlberg.

Five Full Members of British Precast have won Best Practice 2010 Awards after submitting outstanding entries into our annual competition, which comprises the categories health and safety, innovation, sustainability and best project.

Marshalls Plc had two winning entries, with Hanson UK, Tarmac Building Products and Trent Concrete all scooping first prizes at a ceremony at British Precast’s Annual Conference in Leicester on 11th May. In addition, several member companies were awarded Commendations and a Special Communications Award was presented to J&P Building Systems.

British Precast holds the annual award scheme to recognise the excellent work carried out by its members and provides another way of sharing best practice within the membership.

Martin Clarke, Chief Executive of British Precast, said: “I am delighted with, no only the number of entries received this year, but also the high standards in all categories. I congratulate all the winners and entrants. Competition between members to win our awards is intense and makes a major contribution to our improvement agenda.”

Award winners can be seen on our Awards Page. There are also seperate pages for our Innovation Award and Project Award. Don't forget to visit our online gallery for images of the winners as well as the rest of Concrete2010.
