Construction Industry Nominations For Masterton Decommissioning

Online, February 5, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Grangemouth-based decommissioning experts Masterton has been shortlisted in two categories of the construction industry's most respected award scheme, the 2013 Construction News Specialists Awards.

Celebrating UK construction industry excellence, the prestigious award ceremony will take place at the London Hilton, Park Lane on March 26, and Masterton is hoping to win the highly competitive 'Demolition Specialist' and 'Business Growth' categories.

Managing director Steve Forster said: "We have had an incredible 12 months with lots of change and growth, and it would be the most fantastic boost to everyone in the company for us to receive industry recognition for all our hard work.

"Both of the categories we have been short-listed for are fiercely contested, which would make winning even sweeter."
Masterton was successful in bidding for a number of high-profile new contracts during 2012 with clients such as INEOS, BP, Diageo, National Grid, Siemens, Exxon Mobil and BAE Systems. It also restructured creating 12 new management positions, moved to new headquarters and achieved its highest ever turnover - £16 million, a significant increase on the previous year's turnover of £10 million.

The multi-disciplined company is part of the £80m Blackwell Group and provides a full range of decommissioning services including dismantling, specialist demolition, asbestos removal, asset recovery, recycling, waste management and industrial cleaning. It operates throughout the UK and worldwide via its international division, Blackwell Masterton International.
