A CONSTRUCTION company which has been involved in several high-profile projects in Kirklees has been named Best Contractor of the Year at the 15th annual Yorkshire Property Awards.
Leeds-based GMI Construction, which has been trading for 26 years, beat stiff competition from Morgan Sindall, which was also shortlisted for the coveted award in the category.
The event was organised on behalf of Variety children’s charity and took place at Rudding Park in Harrogate.
Judges were looking for Yorkshire construction companies who have made the biggest contribution to the property industry over the past 12 months.
GMI has continued to strengthen its business and look at new ways of adding value for clients, including the successful launch of a dedicated energy business as well as delivering a number of key schemes across Yorkshire.
GMI successfully completed Rotherham Council's new civic offices earlier this year and is due to finish work on Rotherham United's new 12,500 seater community stadium.
Among its recent construction projects, GMI is building Kirklees College’s new engineering centre at St Andrew’s Road, Huddersfield.
It also developed a Travelodge and Costa Coffee outlet as part of the Spindlegate development at Leeds Road in the town.
Managing director Jarrod Best was presented with the award.
