Representatives from across the local concrete industry assembled in the Europa Hotel Belfast on November 6 for the Concrete Society Northern Ireland Region Awards 2025. Featuring project, process innovation, significant contribution, student and concrete challenge accolades, the annual awards recognise outstanding performance by Northern Ireland companies and individuals. Hosted by Paul Clark MBE of UTV Live, the gala evening served as a fundraiser for the Lighthouse Charity, which provides emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support for construction workers and their families. Dignitaries representing the Concrete Society at the event included NI Region Chairman Enda McKenna and Young Members’ Committee Chair Donna Harkin. Judged by three past chairmen of the

Concrete Society NI Region, entries are assessed through the following criteria: presentation, innovation, design complexity, concrete practice, safety elements, sustainability/society impact

and demonstratable benefits. “Congratulations to our worthy

winners,” said Enda. “The judging panel was delighted to see such a positive response from the local construction industry to the 2025 project awards and all the shortlisted projects should be congratulated on the quality of their submissions. “It was reassuring to see so many Northern Ireland-based companies involved in such a wide variety of high- profile projects locally, in the Republic of Ireland and in Great Britain.” For further information about The Concrete Society, visit www.concrete.org. uk and navigate to the regional page for Northern Ireland.
