Henry Brothers Project Manager Shortlisted For Prestigious Award

A project manager at Henry Brothers Midlands has been shortlisted in the prestigious Construction Manager of the Year Awards 2021.

Neil Sleigh has been selected as a finalist in the higher education category for his role in project managing the hugely successful delivery of the £9m Dryden Enterprise Centre at Nottingham Trent University.

The new four-storey facility was handed over by Nottingham-based Henry Brothers Midlands in April.

Neil, who has more than 30 years' experience in the construction sector, was the project manager on the scheme, which was developed on a tight, live site, with restricted access, in the heart of NTU's City campus.

Managing Director of Henry Brothers Midlands, Ian Taylor, said: "As a company, Henry Brothers is particularly proud to have built the stunning Dryden Enterprise Centre for Nottingham Trent University.

"Neil was involved in the scheme from start to finish - playing an integral role in the bid at tender stage through to project managing the successful delivery of this exciting development.

"We are delighted that he has been recognised for his skill, expertise and professionalism by being selected as a finalist in the Construction Manager of the Year Awards 2021, which are regarded as the Oscars of the construction sector. The whole team at Henry Brothers congratulates him on his success."

Neil began his career as an apprentice civils groundworker and by the age of 19 was running a series of gangs on several projects. Having demonstrated his skills as a manager, he worked his way up to become site manager, then senior site manager and is currently project manager. He joined Henry Brothers in 2016.
