Keller

This category celebrates the achievements of geotechnical contractors or specialist geotechnical divisions within general contracting firms that can demonstrate achievement of clear business milestones over the last year. The award will celebrate firms that have continually delivered innovation, quality and value between January 2022 and January 2023, while improving the business and making it more profitable. Entrants must be able to use projects undertaken as examples to show their technical capabilities in delivering projects beyond the expectations of their clients, within budget and on time. Judges will also consider the contractor's approach to coping with challenges on site, interacting with the supply chain and improving the wellbeing of its staff.

Outstanding geotechnical performance delivered record-breaking financial performance for Keller in 2022. Turnover and profits reached all-time highs on the back of work on major projects such as HS2 and consistently good site performances from the core business. Headcount grew by 30 per cent too as Keller brought in the people and expertise to deliver for their clients. All this was backed up by a company culture that is guided by the principles of The Keller Way - Integrity, Collaboration, Excellence and Sustainability. Initiatives on safety and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion also helped to focus on the wellbeing and development of our staff - the people who delivered such great results.
