Charcon Picks up Construction Industry Oscar
Charcon has been named Construction Product Manufacturer of the
Year in the prestigious Contract Journal awards, widely regarded as
the construction industry Oscars.
Now in their 10th year, the Contract Journal Construction
Industry Awards are the most prestigious in the construction
industry. Developed with the industry for the industry, they reward
innovation and excellence in British construction. The Charcon
contingent were therefore understandably proud to take their place
on the rostrum at the black tie awards dinner in the Great Room of
London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane on 6th October.
One of the UK’s premier hard landscaping companies, Charcon has
developed, and continues to develop, a range of innovative new
products designed specifically to address current industry issues
and provide solutions in response to Government and industry
initiatives. For example, Charcon’s unique K-lite
Lightweight Kerb is helping local authorities to work more
safely in compliance with new HSE manual handling guidelines whilst
its reinforced Ultrapave Flag Paving is helping local
authorities to provide both safe and attractive pedestrian
environments.
In response to moves towards more sustainable development,
Charcon has used recycled and secondary aggregates to manufacture
its successful precast concrete EcoPave
Flag Paving and Block Paving and EcoKerb ranges and
is at the forefront of parent company Aggregate Industries’
industry-leading Sustainable Urban Drainage offering, developed to
reduce the impact of development on the natural environment.
The announcement marks the high point in a hugely successful
year for Charcon which has also picked up a British Precast
Concrete Federation Best Practice Award and been shortlisted in the
Builder and Engineer Awards and The Concrete Society Awards, the
latter in conjunction with Nottingham City Council for the
transformation of Maid Marian Way.
