The awards, which will mark the CITB’s 50th anniversary and celebrate the achievements of individuals, companies and training partners within the construction industry, will take place at Old Billingsgate in London.
Jones Bros’ health, safety, environment quality and training manager Dave Gibson said: “It’s a fantastic honour for us to be shortlisted for the award, and highlights the excellent partnership we have with the CITB.
