Lucas has won the Finishing and Fit Out category of the Specialists Awards 14 organised by Construction News and announced yesterday evening. It is one of the most important awards schemes for specialists in the UK building and construction industry.

This is the third time the company has won this award in the last five years. We have been shortlisted every year since 2010. The whole team at Lucas has been given a big lift by the news, especially as the awards are judged by leading, senior figures in the industry.

The award was presented to Executive Chairman and Managing Director, Danny Lucas, at a gala dinner held at the London Hilton in Park Lane for 650 leaders in specialist contracting. The awards dinner was hosted by the comedian, writer and actor Hal Cruttenden.

The judges declared they were impressed with “Lucas’ high level of customer satisfaction and constant efforts to improve.” They added: “Lucas has demonstrated a continued focus on being the best in the industry. Their approach to health and safety sets them apart from the competition and their commitment to innovate in systems and products continues to keep them at the forefront of their market.”

Danny Lucas said: “We’re really pleased to have won this award for the third time which reflects well on the whole team at Lucas. I think the judges were particularly impressed by our commitment to innovation, especially the launch of our new Lucas ProTools range due later this year, and by our ambitions for the future of the business.”
