News: Bramall shortlisted for two sustainability awards

Rotherham social housing contractor Bramall Construction has been shortlisted for two prestigious sustainability awards – recognising its commitment to environmental best practice.

Bramall, which has offices across the country, has been named as a finalist in the Sustainable Social Housing Contractor of the Year category of The Sustainable Housing Awards 2010, organised by Inside Housing magazine and its sister publication Sustainable Housing.

The awards scheme focuses on the best "green" social housing projects constructed in the UK, and the organisations responsible for them.

Ted Stevens, Inside Housing's events director, and the organiser of the awards said: "We've had a terrific response, with hundreds of entries and Bramall Construction has done brilliantly to get shortlisted from such a huge field.

"Britain is leading the way on sustainable housing and innovative building techniques so we're delighted we're able to organise a ceremony to reward organisations that are delivering best practice."

South Yorkshire Housing Association's Munsdale development in Rotherham is shortlisted in the sustainable larger social housing project of the year category at the same event.

Bramall has also been shortlisted in the Housebuilder Awards, now in their sixth year, in the Sustainable Housebuilder of the Year category. The awards celebrate the very best of the industry and recognise the achievements of those leading the way in innovation.

The winners of both awards will be announced in October at ceremonies in London.

Mark Whitley, Pre-Construction Manager at Bramall Construction, said: "We are extremely proud to be shortlisted for this prestigious duo of awards.

"Sustainability is at the core of our company's agenda and we are leading the way in utilising state-of-the-art eco technology to deliver high level Code for Sustainable Homes developments across the UK."
