There’s just a week to go before Ryebridge find out whether they’ve secured a major accolade at the Construction News Awards 2025.
The winners will be announced at a gala ceremony next Thursday, July 10, at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane in London.
The awards are the most prestigious and sought-after awards in construction, and winning one is considered a mark of excellence recognised by clients and peers alike, but even making the shortlist is considered a huge achievement.
Ryebridge has been shortlisted in the Carbon Reduction Champion for its work at Marchwood Port redevelopment in Southampton on behalf of Associated British Ports.
Ryebridge was praised for taking the unprecedented decision to transport 13,000 tonnes of material by two boatloads, even though the client had allowed for lorry movements in their planning application and it would have been cheaper by road.
This removed 3,800 lorry movements from the roads, preventing long-running congestion in the local area and eliminating the generation of 307 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions (based on 25 tonne vehicles travelling 10 miles each).
Director Sean Scully said: “We’re incredibly excited for next week’s awards, and look forward to attending the ceremony with our partners from Associated British Ports.
“Ryebridge promotes a carbon neutral strategy across all aspects of the business, and champions any opportunity to put the planet first through low carbon initiatives, but this initiative was beyond the scope of what we’ve ever done before, so we hope it receives the recognition we think it deserves.”
