The Frameworks Scotland 2 Team were delighted to receive a Highly Commended Award for Client of the Year 2016 at this year’s NEC Users’ Group Annual Seminar held in London.
The NEC Awards recognise excellence in project delivery and showcase examples of good practice through collaboration from across the world.
Entries came from a cross-section of organisations regardless of size, type and sector. This meant being a finalist, or a winner, was a real achievement and testament to the great work carried out by the individual, team, project, collaboration or organisation.
