We marked the achievements of the concrete repair industry at the CRA Awards 2025, which took place on 11 December at the Radisson Blu in Glasgow. As a member of the Structural Concrete Alliance, the Concrete Repair Association (CRA) delivers its annual awards programme to acknowledge excellence in concrete repair, innovation, sustainability, skills development and collaborative working across the sector.
With the support of headline sponsor Mackenzie Construction, the event welcomed over 100 contractors, clients, consultants and suppliers from across the UK. The evening showcased the high standards of technical competence, professionalism and expertise that underpin continued progress within the industry.
In addition to recognising award winners, we generated £2,250 through a charity auction. Funds were distributed equally between Scottish Men’s Sheds Association and Glasgow Women’s Aid, with each organisation receiving £1,125 to support essential community and wellbeing initiatives.
