All systems go for Highways Awards 2023

The new website for the Highways Awards 2023 has now been launched, allowing people across the sector to enter and book a table for what promises to be an extra special night of recognition and celebration.

The Highways Awards 2023 is our 20th Anniversary edition and marks 20 years of celebrating the good and the great from across the sector and championing the highways heroes who keep Britain moving.

This year there are 16 specialist categories, plus the Special Merit Award, sponsored by Kiely Bros, which will be awarded at the end of the judging process to the entry that has impressed the judges the most.

Following a successful transition to a larger venue last year, the Highways Awards 2023 will again take place at the Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge, London on 11 October.

This year’s charity partner is Maggie’s, which provides support for anyone living with cancer and their families and friends – whatever type of cancer, and at whatever stage – in centres across the UK and online.

Entering the Highways Awards 2023 is a great opportunity to reward the hard work of your company, colleagues and partnerships across the last 12 months. Nominations can come from anyone in the industry and you can nominate your own company or indeed a client.
