Shaylor Group plc – ‘Double Delight At Celebrating Construction 2016 Awards’ reports Tanith Hood


We are extremely proud to announce our success in this year’s prestigious Celebrating Construction 2016 Awards in Birmingham on Friday 13th May. 

The win of the night was in the ‘Heritage’ category, where our outstanding work on the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Swan Wing restoration was acknowledged. The project saw the restoration of the oldest part of the RSC’s theatres, with work being carried out on both the façade and interior of the Grade II listed building. We would like to congratulate Heritage Specialist Richard Sapcote, Contracts Manager Rob Leonard, Site Managers Bob and Phil Tatton and Quantity Surveyor Dan Manley on this fantastic achievement.  

Alongside this award, we also received Highly Commended in the ‘Project of the Year’ category, for the Birmingham Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR) project. As only the third project of its kind globally, it has deservedly attracted national and international media attention. We weaved our way throughout the woodland in Staffordshire to carry out extensive works setting up the site including construction of access roads, a Co2 storage compound and installation of 1,000 meters of pipework throughout the forest for the distribution of the Co2. In addition, we also achieved our now infamous helicopter delivery method for installation of over 100 25m high masts. The success of this project is thanks to a great deal of people and hard work - Project Manager Dave Disney, Quantity Surveyor Nigel Meehan, Site Managers Sean Hall, Paul Cheese, Paul Roberts, Stan Tweede, Scott Orton and Chris Moore, M&E Manager Neil Cappell and Senior Contracts Manager Phil Wrixon.  

This is the second acknowledgement the BIFoR project has received, with it also being named winner of the ‘Environmental Award’ last year at the Building Safety Group Awards. As well as this amazing achievement, Dave Disney has also been shortlisted for the Construction Manager of the Year Awards for his performance on BIFoR, and we wish him the best of luck for the rest of the process.  

Many congratulations to all involved in these award winning projects!
