On Tuesday, 6th September 2022, WJ joined more than 800 clients, contractors, designers, and geotechnical experts in Central London for the annual Ground Engineering Awards.
For many, the Ground Engineering Awards mark the culmination of a year of hard work, and a celebration of the achievements of companies and individuals working within the industry. There is a wide range of categories such as awards for innovation, excellence, and community engagement, as well as individual rising star awards.
In 2022, WJ was competing for the illustrious title of ‘Contractor of the Year’, which recognises the achievements of geotechnical contractors or specialist geotechnical divisions within general contracting firms that can demonstrate achievement of clear business milestones over the last year and a half. The award celebrates firms that have continually delivered innovation, quality, and value between January 2021 and March 2022, while growing in terms of revenue, profits, and staff numbers.
Unfortunately, on this occasion, WJ was up against very stiff competition. On the night, the award was won by Bachy Soletanche. We were, however, highly commended, with judges noting that we offered a great presentation that was full of energy and responded strongly to the criteria.
Whilst it is always disappointing to come home without a win, everyone who attended from WJ had a wonderful evening and were very proud of our commendation. WJ continues to be thankful for all the hard work our staff have put in over the last 12 months.
