Waldeck Builds on National Award Win
News Release
8th November 2011
Waldeck is hoping to score a hat-trick at the Northamptonshire Business Excellence Awards 2011 later this month.
The firm of multi-disciplinary consulting engineers, which recently won Consulting Engineer of the Year at the Builder & Engineer Awards 2011, has been shortlisted for three awards: Business of the Year (over 50 employees), the Environmental Award and the Community Investment Award.
The results will be announced during a gala dinner hosted by Tom O’Connor at the Barceló Hotel in Daventry on 17th November.
The awards, which are in their 21st year, are organised by Northamptonshire Newspapers Limited in association with the Northamptonshire Chamber and sponsored by the Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership.
Firmly established as a highlight of the Northamptonshire business calendar, the awards will once again celebrate successful Northamptonshire companies and individuals and offer an excellent opportunity for all business sectors to meet, be inspired and showcase their achievements to their peers.
Head of Developer Services at Waldeck in Northampton Tony Chapman said: “Being shortlisted for one award is an achievement, never mind three! The Northamptonshire Business Excellence Awards are closely contested and it’s an honour just to be among the finalists.
“The construction industry is still trying to recover from the devastating effects of the recession but we’ve managed to succeed where others have failed thanks to our creative approach to engineering.
“Waldeck has been instrumental in helping to get a number of projects off the ground over the past 12 months, including a 348,000 square foot distribution centre and office development at Grange Park which will create up to 600 jobs and a housing development on Banbury Lane.
“As well as our staff, who’ve worked exceptionally hard, we’d also like to thank our customers and suppliers for their continued support.”
Waldeck has also been shortlisted for Business of the Year in the medium category at the Evening Telegraph Business Awards in Peterborough on Friday 18th November.
Over 300 guests are expected to attend the awards ceremony at the East of England Showground hosted by award-winning columnist, presenter and producer Paul Ross.
Managing Director Paul Waldeck said: “In October we won a major national award at the Builder & Engineer Awards 2011 and we’re hoping we can emulate that success at a local level in Northampton and Peterborough.
“Given the volume and standard of entries we feel very proud just to have been shortlisted but winning one if not all of the awards would be the icing on the cake.”
