Double Success at the Construction News Workforce Awards 2024!

We are overjoyed to announce that Flannery Plant Hire took home not one but two prestigious awards at the Construction News Workforce Awards 2024. Alongside winning Recruitment Initiative of the Year for our Skills Bootcamp in Plant Operations, we were also honoured with the Excellence in Learning & Development award for our Operator Skills Hub (OSH).

Recruitment Initiative of the Year: Skills Bootcamp in Plant Operations

Our Skills Bootcamp has revolutionised workforce training, equipping operators with critical skills and contributing skilled professionals to the HS2 project in the last year alone. Designed to remove barriers and create equal opportunities, the Bootcamp provides guaranteed job interviews and ongoing mentoring, ensuring participants are ready to thrive in the construction industry. Judges were particularly impressed by the measurable success and social value of the programme, which empowers individuals from underserved communities and supports key UK infrastructure projects.

Excellence in Learning & Development: Operator Skills Hub

The Operator Skills Hub, supported by our exceptional training team, has set a new benchmark for excellence in the construction sector. With state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge training methods, the Hub prepares trainees for the future of the industry. Over the past year, the Hub has played a pivotal role in workforce development, securing historic funding and training many operators. Our comprehensive, accredited programmes and strategic collaborations with industry partners make a tangible impact on both the local economy and the broader construction landscape.

Driving Excellence in Workforce Development

These awards are a testament to Flannery’s unwavering commitment to innovation, excellence, and social impact. From our Skills Bootcamp to the Operator Skills Hub, we are proud to play a leading role in shaping a skilled, inclusive, and sustainable workforce for the future of construction.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our dedicated team, partners, and trainees, whose hard work and passion make achievements like this possible. Here’s to continuing to raise the bar for workforce development across the industry!

It was a privilege to be shortlisted alongside such outstanding organisations and initiatives that are shaping the future of workforce development in our industry. We extend our congratulations to all the finalists: Balfour Beatty Vinci, McGee, and many more industry leaders.
