At Tank Consult, we are proud to have been named a finalist in two categories at the CN Specialists Awards 2026, marking our second consecutive year of recognition at these prestigious industry awards.

We have been shortlisted for Concrete Specialist of the Year and Project of the Year (Specialist Contractor – Subcontract up to £1.5m) for our work at Lutterworth.

This recognition reflects the strength of the relationships we have built with our clients and supply chain partners. It is through this collaborative approach that we are able to apply our expertise effectively, delivering projects that meet the highest standards of safety, quality, and efficiency.

The Lutterworth project is a strong example of what can be achieved when clients, specialists, and delivery teams work in close alignment. With a shared commitment to getting the right outcome, the project brought together expertise from across the team, supported by open communication and a collective focus on delivering safely and right first time.

Our nomination for Concrete Specialist of the Year also recognises the consistency of this approach across our wider portfolio. Working closely with our clients and partners allows us to continuously improve, share knowledge, and ensure that every project benefits from both technical expertise and practical experience on site.

We would like to thank our clients for the trust they place in us, and our supply chain partners for their continued support, reliability, and professionalism. It is this combined effort that enables us to deliver to the standards we set ourselves and that our clients expect.

We look forward to attending the awards ceremony and celebrating alongside our industry peers. Being named finalists is something we are proud of, and a reflection of the collaborative partnerships that underpin everything we do.

Further details, including the full shortlist, are available on the CN Specialists Awards website through this link.

At Tank Consult, giving back to our community is an important part of who we are, and this Easter we were proud to donate a variety of Easter eggs and chocolate treats to the Salvation Army and Our Lady & St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School. We wanted to help bring a little extra joy to children and families who may be finding times challenging, and Easter felt like the perfect opportunity to do something meaningful.

While purchasing the Easter eggs, we experienced a thoughtful gesture of support from someone in store, which allowed us to extend our donation even further. This moment reminded us how powerful kindness can be and how one generous act often inspires another.

Our hope in sharing this is not to highlight what we did, but to encourage others to consider supporting their community in whatever way feels right for them. Whether it’s donating to a local charity, helping a school, contributing to a food bank, or simply doing something kind for someone nearby, every gesture makes a difference.

Easter is a time centred around hope and generosity, and even small actions can have a big impact. If our experience inspires even one more act of kindness, then it has already made the community a brighter place.
