Two of the company's most senior engineers, Steve Stone and Jim Hopkins, work closely with the McCarthy and Stone team, bringing with them over 38 years of industry experience.
Steve Stone said; "We are delighted to have won these awards.
Jim and I have worked with McCarthy and Stone for a number of years and it is extremely rewarding to have our products and services recognised in this way by one of our major customers.
"We take a proactive approach with all our customers, consulting with the structural engineers, architects and consultants from the early stages of a project, to help identify and address any technical or design issues before they are encountered on site".
An integral part of Catnic's service package is the CLASS system, a free scheduling service available to all its customers.
CLASS (Catnic Lintel Advanced Scheduling System) is the most comprehensive lintel scheduling service available on the market today.
Catnic's service offering also includes a dedicated design and technical support team.
The highly qualified team is available five days a week to answer customers' queries and technical issues regardless of the value and size of the project.

The company provides its customers with a broad range of high quality products and recently launched a new range of lintels, based on its original open-back style product.
The new CL and CU lintels are designed with the capability to support concrete floors and multiple truss loads and to allow masonry to be built up continuously on both the inner and outer leaf.
The new lintels are available in two coursed depths and are supplied to customers within a five-day lead-time.
Responding to the requirements of Building Regs, they provide a thermally efficient yet cost-effective alternative to the classic box lintels.
