Regional award win for Assistant QS, Niamh
Congratulations to Assistant Quantity Surveyor, Niamh Nugent, who has been crowned Degree Apprentice of the Year at the 2026 GM Skills Awards.
Niamh is currently undertaking her degree apprenticeship with our Engineering team and studying at The University of Salford. Her award recognises not only her outstanding commitment to her apprenticeship and ongoing professional development, but also the significant impact she has made across our business.
“Through her commercial contributions on major projects such as Manchester Airport Terminal 2 and now commercially delivering the University of Salford Clinical Building, alongside stepping up at times when the business needed her most, Niamh has consistently demonstrated exceptional technical ability, leadership potential, and professionalism. “We're incredibly proud of everything she has achieved, and this award is a well-deserved recognition of the difference she makes every day.”
