A multi-award-winning company based in Newtown will be representing Wales at a prestigious awards ceremony.
Groundworks and civil engineering business EvaBuild is competing for the UK High Growth Business of the Year award which will be held on May 27 following a record number of new contracts secured.
The company has reported consecutive growth for each of the past three years, as it has expanded to keep pace with demand for its specialist services across England and Wales.
Notable projects in Newtown include the Ladywell Centre redevelopment, Robert Owen House demolition and Trehafren Hill entranceway and car park works.

“Despite the challenges of the pandemic, 2021 promises to be our busiest year yet as we have secured a record amount of work from clients across England and Wales who are expanding just like we are.

May promises to be a memorable month for EvaBuild which celebrates reaching the significant milestone of a decade in business. A birthday event is being planned in June, subject to Covid-19 restrictions, when long serving members of staff will be recognised.
