In addition to these awards, the global facility services provider received four Gold Medals for its partnerships with various clients. Medals are presented to organizations that have won between five and nine consecutive Gold Awards. EMCOR UK won Gold Medals for its partnerships with United Utilities (eight consecutive Gold Awards), Anglian Water (eight consecutive Gold Awards), Thames Water (seven consecutive Gold Awards), and British Sugar (five consecutive Gold Awards).

RoSPA’s Health and Safety Awards programme is the largest dedicated to occupational safety in the world, attracting some 2,000 entries from around 50 countries every year. The programme recognises entrants’ commitment to continuous improvement in the prevention of accidents and ill health at work – with the panel assessing health and safety management systems, including leadership practices and the employee buy-into safety policies.
