HBPW has been named as one of the leading civil engineering practices in the UK.
The New Civil Engineer’s Top 100 Companies of the Year Awards celebrate firms said to be the best in their field. HBPW has been ranked at number 72.
But the NCE has been keen to point out that its resulting ‘list’ of organisations is not based on money earned, but on the cultures, competencies and skillsets demonstrated by each.
These include firms showing technical excellence, a propensity to push technology and diversity, organisations that are ‘great and safe places to work’, that develop future-fit skills and which play their part in tackling global issues.
“These are the companies that we believe you will want to work for and work with,” were the words of NCE Editor, Mark Hansford.
“Selecting our 100 has been a painstaking process that included an in-depth company survey, employee satisfaction survey and finally ratification by a dozen leading clients among a 30-strong judging panel.
“The company survey was tough and not all were willing to fill it in (and the) employee survey asked some challenging questions.”
Top 100 Accolade for HBPW
Managing Partner, Paul Withers said: “This is recognition for every person in the firm. WE know we are working on some great projects and WE know that we are called on to meet technical challenges every day of our working lives.
“However, it is nice to be recognised by the industry’s leading magazine, its panel of experts and colleagues within the wider sector. As much as I am delighted for HBPW in my capacity as Managing Partner, I am equally proud of every team member without whom this accolade could not have been possible.”
