Galliford Try has landed two nominations at the 2026 Construction News Awards, one of the industry’s leading celebration events, following the announcement of this year’s finalists.
Galliford Try’s Infrastructure business has been recognised for the Supply Chain Collaboration Excellence award for outstanding performance on the Carlisle Southern Link Road (CSLR) project. Delivered on behalf of Cumberland Council, the new road connects junction 42 of the M6 with the A595 at Newby West, providing additional crossings of the River Caldew and River Petteril, and includes the construction of four roundabouts, five cycle bridges and four road bridges along an 8km stretch.
The new road is vital for the economic growth of Carlisle and will provide supporting infrastructure for the new community at Cuthbert’s Garden Village, bringing significant benefits to the city and the wider county.
In addition, Luke Winch, Low Carbon Manager for Galliford Try, has been recognised in the Carbon Reduction Champion category for his outstanding work in driving carbon reduction across the Infrastructure business. His achievements reflect a strong commitment to advancing the low‑carbon agenda and embedding carbon‑reduction practices throughout construction activities.
Bill Hocking, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, commented: “These nominations highlight the dedication, passion and expertise of our people. Their commitment to delivering for our communities, our clients and our supply chain is reflected in this recognition, and it’s something every team involved should feel incredibly proud of. I wish everyone the very best of luck ahead of the awards in July.”
The winners will be announced in London on 9 July.
