NJUG Awards 2009
NJUG held its second annual Awards in the House of Commons on 1st December 2009, hosted by Louise Ellman MP, Chair of the House of Commons Transport Select Committee. For the second year running, the event was kindly sponsored by Virgin Media.
The Awards are designed to recognise, promote and reward instances of best practice within the street works industry which contribute to turning the NJUG Vision for Street Works into a reality. Prizes were awarded to utility companies and contractors who provided case studies demonstrating their delivery of one or more of the objectives of the NJUG Vision.
The Awards centred on each of the six Vision Statements with an award for each one (although case studies supporting more than one statement were encouraged):
