Crown Highways hit the road to success

Staffordshire-based Crown Highways hit the road to success with a prestige award at a House of Lords ceremony in conjunction with Birmingham firm R&C Williams.

Entered into the Micro, Small, Medium size Enterprises (MSME) category, the pair of companies scooped the joint accolade at the Institute for Collaborative Working (ICW) Awards.

Chasetown-based Crown Highways established its formal relationship with R&C in 2022, but has over seven previous years of experience of working collaboratively.

The ICW Awards, organised by the Institute for Collaborative Working, recognises and celebrates outstanding collaborative practices in various industries. Crown Highways' achievement underscores the company's commitment to excellence and innovation in collaborative work environments.

The ICW Awards serve as a benchmark for recognising organizations that exhibit exceptional collaborative working practices. The accolade aims to showcase the importance of effective partnerships and collaborative efforts in achieving success and driving positive outcomes in diverse sectors.

The ICW Awards cover a wide range of categories, highlighting the significance of collaboration in fostering innovation, efficiency and sustainability.

Crown Highways has the ability to manage and deliver, in-house, all specialist activities including detection, technology, motorway communications, lighting, signs, civils and cabling for its clients on Smart Motorways, Highway Sector Framework and Term Contracts.

Crown Highways' success at the ICW Awards is a testament to its fruitful collaboration with R&C Williams, a partner known for its expertise in delivering civil engineering and construction solutions.

Mike Dale, managing director of Crown Highways, said: “To even be shortlisted for such a prestigious award is a true testament to both businesses and what we have achieved together in such a small amount of time.

"We are truly honoured to receive this recognition from the Institute for Collaborative Working.

“This award is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the entire Crown Highways team and our valued partners, R&C Williams and we feel it reflects the commitment of both businesses to fostering collaborative environments that drive innovation and excellence in the highways and infrastructure sector.

“At Crown Highways, we believe that collaboration is key to overcoming challenges and delivering exceptional outcomes. This award is a symbol of the positive impact that effective partnerships can have on our industry, and we look forward to continuing our collaborative efforts to drive positive change.”
