Reflecting on 2024

As we look back on a very successful 2024, we take pride in celebrating our many achievements, which include:

  • Exceeding £7m turnover.
  • Launching a new company video that showcases who we are and what we stand for.
  • Delivering Design and Commissioning services on two major project wins in Saudi Arabia.
  • Welcoming five new team members to our business.
  • Obtaining ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification.
  • Assessing our carbon footprint and investing in the Sussex Kelp Recovery Project.
  • Donating over £2,200.00 to Young Lives vs Cancer.

One of the most significant highlights of the year was our transition to Employee Ownership. This milestone not only strengthens our business but also aligns us with the growing trend of employee-owned companies, especially in the construction sector. We are proud of this new collective focus and look forward to the many benefits it will bring in 2025 and beyond.

Earlier in the year, we took the opportunity to reflect on and illustrate our culture and values through The Banyards Way. This initiative highlights what we stand for, providing a strong foundation for how we operate and deliver excellence. It came to life through our animated video and Life at Banyards, which provides an inside look into the heart of our company and illustrates what it is like to work for Banyards as an Investors People Gold Business.

Promotions were another standout aspect of 2024, with many team members advancing their careers.

We also secured new framework appointments, including States of Guernsey, Crown Commercial Services, and the North West Construction Hub.

Throughout the year, we delivered MEP Design, Commissioning Verification, and Commissioning Validation services across a range of prestigious projects in sectors such as Health, Commercial, Residential, Labs, Education, Hotels, and Leisure, among others.

2024 was an award-winning year for us. We were proud to sponsor the “Commissioning Manager of the Year” category at the Commissioning Specialists Association Awards. Additionally, we won two awards—one for services delivered at the Manchester Engineering Campus Development (MECD) and another for Diversity in Commissioning, recognizing our diverse workforce, forward-thinking mindset, and unwavering commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion initiatives.

As we move forward into 2025, we are confident that the strong foundation we have built this year will continue to propel us toward even greater success.

Finally, we wish all our clients, partners, and colleagues the very best for 2025—may it be a year of prosperity, growth, and shared success.
