We are delighted to announce that James Frew have been shortlisted in two categories for the GRAHAM Supply Chain Awards 2026.
The judging panel have shortlisted James Frew in the categories of Excellence in SHE (Safety, Health and Environmental) Performance, and Aftercare Best Practice and the GRAHAM Supply Chain Awards 2026 ceremony will take place on Thursday 12th November 2026 in Belfast.
Managing Director Roddy Frew said:
“Being shortlisted is a significant achievement and recognition of the excellence, innovation and commitment our entire team has demonstrated over the past year. I am absolutely delighted that our efforts have been recognised by one of our major construction partners.”
Our Excellence in SHE Performance submission detailed our best-in-class hierarchy of control approach to dust management, significantly reducing exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS). In partnership with RPE2Fit, we delivered quantitative and qualitative face-fit testing, ensuring a robust, data-driven validation of respiratory protection for all operatives. We have also transitioned from disposable masks to reusable half-mask respirators, delivered manager coaching sessions, with a focus on dust risk leadership, and invested in enhanced toolkits, including M-Class vacuums and dust capture attachments.
Our Aftercare Best Practice submission was underpinned by a responsive and well-coordinated delivery model. This system allowed us to rapidly allocate work to the most appropriate and nearest operative using real-time location data, maintain clear communication with residents, clients, and stakeholders, and ensure prompt response times and consistent service delivery
Roddy added:
“As a team, we have worked super hard to meet the needs of Kier GRAHAM Defence and we are delighted to be recognised in doing so. I am very much looking forward to the Awards Ceremony in Belfast in November.”
