Galliford Try has secured six shortlistings at this year's North West Regional Construction Awards, including a place in the Contractor of the Year category, with judges highlighting the business's quality, innovation and social value across the region.

Bolton University Collegiate School (UCS) is up for three prizes — Project of the Year - Building, Innovation and Social Impact — following a major extension to the existing school. The scheme delivered new teaching facilities, dining and kitchen areas, a sports hall and activity studio, as well as refurbishment works to support the school's transition from a vocational to an academic curriculum.

The Brentwood SEN (Special Educational Needs) School Expansion Project has earned two nominations: Project of the Year - Building and the Social Impact Award. Delivered for Trafford Council and procured through the Procure Partnerships North West Framework, the project will increase SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) provision by 80 places, creating enhanced learning environments for pupils with severe learning difficulties, autism and complex medical needs.

In addition to the project shortlistings, Galliford Try is recognised for Contractor of the Year for its approach to project delivery, quality, collaboration and sustainability.

Darren Parker, Managing Director for Galliford Try Building North West, said: "To receive recognition across so many categories is a fantastic achievement for our teams and supply chain partners. These nominations reflect not only the quality of the projects we deliver, but also the positive impact they have on the communities they serve.

"We are particularly proud to see education and SEND projects recognised, as they demonstrate how thoughtful design, collaboration and innovation can create environments that genuinely improve outcomes for young people. Being shortlisted for Contractor of the Year is also a testament to exceptional performance and industry leadership across our teams and projects."

The winners will be revealed on Thursday 2 July 2026 at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool, where leading construction professionals from across the North West will celebrate excellence in the built environment.
