Highways England awards
Coronavirus (Covid-19) update
The Highways England Awards team have decided to postpone the awards ceremony due to the current risk posed by Coronavirus (Covid-19).
With everybody’s safety in mind, the awards have been moved back to 10 February 2021. All other details remain the same, taking place between 1730 hrs and 2300 hrs at The ICC Birmingham, 8 Centenary Square, Birmingham B1 2EA.
We are sorry that we have had to delay such a special evening. If you have any questions please contact the team at:
The Highways England Awards recognise people in our company and supply chain who have achieved outstanding results in the safety, customer experience and delivery of our network.
The winners reflect the very best in our sector and demonstrate the highest standards for our industry. The judges will look for nominations that demonstrate clear outcomes and benefits, and how these have been evaluated against success. There are 14 categories to choose from, and our Chairman will make a selection from all the winners to receive the Chairman’s Award.
We invite applications from all Highways England employees, our suppliers and their supply chain (including extended supply chain, small and medium enterprises, etc).
Our customers
Now more than ever at Highways England we are challenging our own teams and supply chain to achieve more for our customers. We focus our efforts on our three imperatives – safety, customer, and delivery – and seek out ways to improve and innovate in these areas.
“This is the second year of these awards. They provide a platform to celebrate the achievements of the people who work in our industry and to share examples of excellence.
“I encourage you to apply and seek recognition and reward for the people who achieve great things for us. By sharing knowledge and best practice we can all help each other to continually improve. I know we have committed, talented and motivated people in our company and supply chain, and last year we were delighted with the entries that demonstrated your passion and skill. I look forward to receiving your entries.”
Our awards aim to:
- recognise the Highways England values and behaviours expected to deliver against our three imperatives of safety, customer service and delivery
- encourage individuals and teams to contribute towards continuous health and safety improvements
- identify exemplars in promoting a positive culture and a diverse and inclusive workforce
- share innovation and best practice across the industry
