WJ Groundwater was been named as a finalist in the category Specialist Contractor of the Year (turnover up to £100m). Unfortunately, they were beat to the top spot this year.
“The judges commended WJ Groundwater for holding their own in a category full of larger specialists, and despite coming home without a win this year, it was still a brilliant evening,” said Richard Fielden, Managing Director.
