CIHT would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped us raise £3050 for The Lighthouse Charity - supporting construction workers and their families and to all the dinner sponsors.

The evening saw the announcement of the CIHT Northern Ireland 2025 award winners, celebrating the very best the region offers across the key areas of highways and transportation. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners of this year’s awards!
