EKSPAN Named SME of the Year at CECA Yorkshire & the Humber Awards 2025

A proud moment for Team EKSPAN

We are delighted to announce that EKSPAN has been awarded SME of the Year at the CECA Yorkshire & the Humber 2025 Awards – a milestone we couldn’t be prouder of. From the earliest design phases through to project delivery, our team brings dedication, innovation and teamwork to every assignment.

This award underscores several core strengths of our company:

Project delivery excellence: Being recognised by CECA highlights our ability to meet complex requirements on time, on budget and to high standards.
Innovation and collaboration: Winning at a CECA awards evening demonstrates we are trusted and respected among peers, clients and partners.
Team‑culture & development: Much of CECA’s value lies in supporting training and future talent (see their report on training 926 people across 4,960 hours in 2023)
Industry leadership: With the award, EKSPAN is positioned as a trusted SME in civil infrastructure, able to take on sophisticated work and contribute meaningfully to our region’s built environment.

What the ‘SME of the Year’ Award signifies:

CECA Yorkshire & the Humber is the regional branch of the broader Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA), an industry body representing contractors in the civil engineering and infrastructure sector. Their Annual Dinner & Awards has become a key fixture in the regional calendar, celebrating excellence, innovation and leadership.

According to CECA, their mission includes training, collaboration, influencing policy and promoting the civil engineering industry across Yorkshire & the Humber region (£75,300 worth of savings for members in 2023 alone through training!)

Winning SME of the Year means EKSPAN has been recognised not only for the quality of our output, but also for our business growth, team engagement and the way we deliver value in our sector.

Thank you & looking ahead:

This recognition is a tribute to every member of the EKSPAN team, our valued partners and stakeholders who work with us day in, day out. A special thank‑you to CECA for hosting such a brilliant celebration of engineering excellence.

We live by our promise of delivering value through design, construction and partnership – and this award fuels our ambition to push boundaries further. Expect more from us: new projects, new collaborations, and a continued commitment to bringing the same high‑standards to every job.
