Ryebridge shortlisted as Carbon Reduction Champion in Construction News Awards

Ryebridge has continued its roll of high-profile industry awards nominations with one of the biggest ones yet – a shortlisted position in the Construction News Awards 2025.

The awards saw the company named in the Carbon Reduction Champion for our work at Marchwood Port redevelopment in Southampton on behalf of Associated British Ports.

Ryebridge was praised for taking the unprecedented decision to transport 13,000 tonnes of material by two boatloads, even though the client had allowed for lorry movements in their planning application and it would have been cheaper by road.

This removed 3,800 lorry movements from the roads, preventing long-running congestion in the local area and eliminating the generation of 307 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions (based on 25 tonne vehicles travelling 10 miles each).

Director Sean Scully said: “It’s amazing news to be shortlisted by the country’s leading publication for the construction industry.

“The work we did in Southampton was a game-changer for the company, and set a new precedent for how we approach future projects.

“We wish all the finalists the very best of luck and look forward to seeing them at the awards.”

All of the winners will be announced at the Construction News Awards 2025 ceremony on Thursday July 10 at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane in London.
