Recognition for Robert Woodhead Ltd following work on Bolsover housing projects


Robert Woodhead Ltd has been shortlisted for two awards, following work carried out in the Bolsover area.

Working alongside Bolsover District Council in bringing new homes to the area, the construction firm has been recognised in two categories by the Association for Public Service Excellence (APSE).

The first award that the partnership has been shortlisted for is the Best Housing, Regeneration or New Build Initiative. The entry, Bolsover Homes New Build Initiative, details the success of the Bolsover Homes partnerships as it stands at the midway point of the 4 year agreement in the construction of high quality homes, the innovations within the programme as well as social, economic and environmental value that has been delivered to the local community.

The second award is the Best Public / Private Partnership, which focuses on the collaborative nature of the Bolsover Homes scheme as a key reason for the programme’s success.

This achievement follows the partnership also reaching the finalist stage for the Constructing Excellence East Midlands 2022, where they were finalised for the Integration & Collaborative Working Award.

Mathew Hall, Marketing Manager at Robert Woodhead Limited commented: “Being shortlisted for an APSE Award is a fantastic achievement, there were over 300 submissions from across the UK, all highlighting the very best of public sector excellence.

“To be recognised as finalists in two categories is fantastic and it demonstrates the exceptional work Bolsover District Council is delivering in terms of investing in high quality, sustainable housing and social value.  Well done everyone and good luck in the final!”
