Over 120 members and industry guests attended the SBWWI annual awards lunch on 19 November where the Health & Safety and People Awards proved to be very closely contested, with four companies in each category being shortlisted.

The People award, which recognises a team or individual who had 'gone the extra mile' to provide excellent service to their company and the local community was presented to Morrison for their 'Back to School: Communicating Safety in the Classroom’ submission which targeted site safety awareness in a particularly high risk group – primary school children. The Optimise Group received a Highly Commended for their ‘Flood Alleviation Project’ submission which demonstrated best practice in collaboration between six organisations.
