Highways Awards: Meet the judges

 

As featured on BBC TV’s The One Show, the Highways Awards at the Royal Lancaster London this October will again celebrate the brightest and best in our industry.

As usual, entries will be judged by our distinguished panel of experts, who will use their knowledge and extensive experience to reward innovation, hard work and best practice across the sector.

Recognition from these industry leaders will hold shortlisted entrants – not to mention the eventual winners – up as a symbol of success.
