Aztec Centreline of Brierley Hill received the award for their work on the £4 million refurbishment of hospitality suites at Aston Villa Football Club's ground which was completed in record time.

Mansell's Stourbridge-based Western region completed the project in just 10 weeks, working seven days a week, often with more than 150 tradespeople on site.

Aztec Centreline received the award for their support for Mansell's demanding work schedule and also their attention to health and safety issues. The major project included the complete refurbishment of the Holte End suite and the Park Suite as well as the Sky Box. The scheme involved stripping out existing function rooms and boxes and completely refitting them. 

The award was presented to Aztec Centreline director Paul Brook by Aston Villa's legendary former half-back Charlie Aitken.

Mansell's construction manager Dean Howard said, "The project was on a very tight timescale with deadlines that couldn't be missed if the work was to avoid disruption to the season's home fixture schedule. In such circumstances we depend heavily on the support of our supply chain and Aztec certainly rose to that challenge."
