WJ Group has won the Highways England Excellence in Safety Innovation Award.
The company were announced winner of the category at the Highways England virtual awards event. The “Robotic age dawns for the road markings sector” submission featured the WJ Robotic PreMarker highlighting the health, safety and wellbeing benefits provided by eliminating risks and protecting vulnerable operatives.
This latest Highways England accolade for WJ follows on from last year’s prestigious Championing Safety Award win for ‘Transforming Roadmarking Sector Safety Standards’.
Craig Williams, WJ Group Health & Safety Director, commented: “Our sector demands change, and we decided some time ago that ‘good enough was just not good enough’. For us it is a continuous journey driven by innovative thinking and behavioural change. To put it mildly, we are immensely proud that our efforts have been recognised at the highest level, and the award will encourage us to do more.”
The Highways England Awards scheme is designed to reflect on accomplishments, celebrate the absolute best achievements and share examples of excellence across the industry.
Highways England were unable to host the live ceremony in Birmingham as normal during March 2020 and it was rescheduled twice before eventually being delivered virtually.
