National Award Winner for People & Culture

We are proud to share some fantastic news!

On Friday night, we brought home the National Award for People & Culture at the Constructing Excellence Awards! This recognition reflects our people, our shared values and the purposeful culture we nurture every day.

Our award submission focused on three core pillars:
Investment & Skills Development
Championing Diversity & Inclusion
Living Our PROUD Values

Through initiatives such as the Seymour Skills Academy, we are addressing the skills gap and helping people access meaningful employment. Supported by a £1.4 million UK Government Town Deal Fund investment, our enhanced facilities are making a lasting impact, with 900+ previously unemployed individuals progressing into work through our Gateway to Construction programme. This collaborative partnership between Seymour Civil Engineering, Hartlepool College of Further Education, and Hartlepool Borough Council is shaping the future of civil engineering by equipping the next generation with the essential skills they need to succeed.

We are also empowering underrepresented groups through the FREDIE framework, Women in Leadership programme, STEM outreach and collaboration across the Renew Group and wider industry forums.

Innovation, collaboration, sustainability, wellbeing and ethical leadership aren’t just initiatives, they’re how we work every day.

Congratulations to all the brilliant finalists, the very best our industry has to offer! And a special thanks to Catriona, Leanne and the Constructing Excellence team for organising an outstanding night.

A huge thank you to our team, this award belongs to every single one of us! To those who train, mentor, support, collaborate, develop, innovate, challenge and champion…thank you.
