Glass facades specialist Solaglas Contracting has been shortlisted for 'Specialist Contractor of the Year' for the second year running by Contract Journal magazine in its Construction Industry Awards.

The awards will be judged by an independent panel of eminent construction industry experts with the winner announced on 24 September at a ceremony to be held at London's Royal Lancaster Hotel.

Nick Prosser, Divisional Director comments: "To be shortlisted for the second year running is a real accomplishment".

"The Awards are designed to recognise outstanding business achievement and, in what has been a tough year for the industry, it is encouraging to see so many companies still performing well.

With sales of GBP51m in 2008, Solaglas Contracting is the largest UK-based installer of facades and comprises four regional businesses.

The company provides specialist design, fabrication and installation services for external facade and internal glazing projects and recent high profile projects include the installation of 1300m of glazing for the refurbishment and extension of Stratford Station's Eastern Egress, BREEAM excellent rated office building 'The Pinnacle' in Milton Keynes and GBP3-million worth of work on Project Allenby/Connaught - the GBP8-billion PFI scheme to upgrade British Army garrisons at Aldershot and on the Salisbury Plain.
