In a celebration of skill, talent and expertise, Marshalls plc held their annual domestic contractor awards in Chester on 13 May 2022 and crowned winners in ten garden and driveway categories.
The Marshalls Register Awards are for the 1000+ businesses which are accredited by the leading hard landscaping business. The prestigious event was held at Carden Park Hotel, with over 200 guests. Over 450 projects from 156 different businesses were entered into the awards.
The big prize went to Dawson Landscapes based in Hartlepool, who were given the highly esteemed title of “Contractor of the Year 2021/22” for which they won a 1.5 Volvo excavator. They were also awarded ‘Most creative use of a Marshalls product’ for an incredible project which included a 3D Formula 1 car going into a tunnel, hand-cut using porcelain and granite.
Of their achievement, Andrew Dawson said:
“I am so proud of the full team here at Dawson Landscapes, massive thank you to Marshalls for a brilliant award ceremony and an even bigger thank you to our fellow landscapers who voted for this project.”
The Marshalls Register Awards invite contractors to vote for their peers, all projects are featured anonymously on the Marshalls voting website, ensuring maximum credibility and integrity, which is a true marque of respect for all the winners.
David Jessop, Operations Manager of the Marshalls Register said: “The awards are a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the talent within the industry and shine a light on some of the amazing spaces that have been created. The winning projects from Dawson Landscapes show huge amounts of creativity and skill, and it was no surprise that they were chosen by fellow members as the winner.
