The Stourbridge-based Western Region of Mansell Construction Services has scooped six top accolades at the Considerate Constructors Scheme 2010 National Awards.

These include a coveted Gold Award which Mansell received for its work on the £9 million project to extend the Blists Hill Victorian Town on behalf of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. The Blists Hill project also received the runners up award in the UK's Most Considerate Site category out of more than 7,600 sites across the country.

Mansell was also presented with three bronze awards for the £57 million Sandwell Pathfinder regeneration scheme, and a bronze award for Mill Rise Extra Care Village in Staffordshire.

The Sandwell Pathfinder bronze awards were for sites at Harvills Hawthorn and Millfields. The Pathfinder work is being carried out by Mansell's partnership housing division on behalf of Riverside and Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council. 

The judges said of the Blists Hill project, "This site is a flagship site for all future Mansell projects" and of the Sandwell Pathfinder sites, "The regeneration project is well organised and the residents are treated as a priority. The high score reflects the efforts that have been made to be considerate and proactive in all departments."

Mansell has a good record in the Considerate Constructors awards. In 2009 Mansell received three national silver awards and two bronze awards, and in 2008 Mansell received two silver awards and a bronze.

Mansell's Western Region managing director Steve Davies said Mansell was particularly delighted to have picked up a prestigious gold award.

"These awards are extremely sought after within the building industry and they represent a real tribute to the work put in by Mansell people on these important projects," he said.
