Murphy picks up a selection of awards including ‘Contractor of the Year’.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s been a summer of success and celebration for Murphy as the business picked up three awards at the New Civil Engineer<\/a> and Construction News<\/a> awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting at the NCE awards, Murphy was delighted to take home both the \u2018Contractor of the Year\u2019<\/strong> and the \u2018Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Leader\u2019<\/strong> accolades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awarding ‘Contractor of the Year’, the judges said: “An impressive presentation demonstrating solid performance growth while maintaining a strong focus on employee development. The company’s zero-carbon and social value efforts are market-leading, and its ability to diversify further supports its growth. The investment in green plant is commendable<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this, for the EDI award, Murphy was highlighted as: “A great example of how EDI is integral to successful business performance<\/a> and is a core part of the global business strategy. The strategy was clearly embedded throughout the organisation. The fact that the prisons programme has now been picked up across the sector is testament to the leadership of this organisation. Many aspects of diversity were addressed, including LGBTQIA+, neurodiversity and NEETs. The strategies were translated into meaningful local impact and social value activities, with feedback gathered from all levels of the organisation<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Construction News awards Murphy won the ‘Training Excellence’<\/strong> award. Recognising our ‘Development For All’ approach. The judges said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We were particularly impressed by the clear focus on delivering positive outcomes, with measurable impact through internal development and meaningful contributions to the broader sector.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annual awards celebrate civil engineering excellence and achievements from across our industry and our recognition is testament to the hard work and commitment of all our teams. Well done to all the teams involved in these fantastic achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
