Hobson & Porter, Innovation based on tradition

Following on from the recent RICS award for the Octagon Centre, another H&P project has scooped a prestigious RICS award, recognised as the Oscars of the built environment. This year the award has gone to Gateway for the frontage improvement works on Plane St, Sandringham St and St George's Rd in the Newington & St Andrew's area of Hull. The project scooped first prize in the Regeneration category at the 2010 Pro-Yorkshire awards ceremony held at Elland Rd in Leeds, beating stiff opposition from five other projects throughout the Yorkshire & Humber region.

Mark Tomlinson, H&P's Contracts Director said "this represents a fantastic achievement for H&P and Gateway, and is recognition for all the hard work and dedication of our site and project teams"
