A Winchester consultancy firm has won two awards at a national ceremony.

Ridge and Partners, based in Kings Worthy, took home the "Consultancy of the Year" gold award and the "Overall Winner" award at the National Building and Construction Awards in London on November 24.

The firm was recognised for its significant and sustained achievement, and the quality of its work over the past 12 months.

Ridge partner David Johnson said: "It is an honour to collect the prestigious gold award, which recognises the dedication and professionalism of our people and our ambition to become the property and construction consultants of choice for clients from all the sectors in which we work.

"It is also testament to the progress Ridge has made in diverse areas, from sustainability, social value and ESG to digital/technical innovation and strategic business growth."
