On Friday 15th June, Surgo Construction’s site manager, Colin Kinghorn received a prestigious Highly Commended award in the Site Manager category at the regional LABC Building Excellence Awards, which took place at Gateshead’s Hilton Hotel.

Working with over 3,000 sites nationally, LABC Warranty is only able recognise a small number of site managers therefore, making it on to the shortlist is a significant achievement.
Colin was nominated by LABC Warranty risk management surveyor, Steve Morrison for his work on a development of 50 affordable homes on land at Backworth Park, North Tyneside.
Speaking about the standard of nominees and winners, LABC Warranty’s business development director and head judge, Mike Swatton, said:
