A spotlight on our people

At Balfour Beatty, we believe that excellence is not only measured by the infrastructure we build, but by the people who make it possible.  

Through the Behaviour Champion Awards and the Icon Awards, we proudly recognise and celebrate those who go above and beyond, whose contributions embody our values and help us deliver with purpose, pride and impact.

At Balfour Beatty, our five core behaviours Talk Positively, Collaborate Relentlessly, Encourage Constantly, Make a Difference and Value Everyone are at the heart of how we work together to deliver excellence. 

The Behaviour Champion Awards shine a spotlight on colleagues across the UK who go above and beyond to live these behaviours every day. Whether on site or in the office, our champions inspire those around them and help embed our values into everything we do. 

Each year, employees across the business nominate peers who exemplify one or more of our behaviours. A judging panel then selects winners who are recognised across the organisation and celebrated for the positive impact they make. 

In 2024, we received a record-breaking 1,700 nominations, reflecting the passion and pride our people have in recognising one another.  

We’re proud to celebrate our Behaviour Champions – because when we recognise the best in each other, we bring out the best in all of us.

On 25 September 2024, we celebrated our inaugural Icon Awards at the world-class V&A Museum in London. ‌Our Icon Awards brought together almost 400 colleagues from the UK, US and Hong Kong, alongside key customers and partners, to celebrate the very best of Balfour Beatty. Find out more on what our customers had to say about the event. 

Together, we paint skylines, build incredible infrastructure and shape communities. But just as important as what we deliver, is how we deliver; something that is driven by our culture, underpinned by our behaviours.  

Our Icon Awards recognised individuals and teams who excelled across 16 categories including each of our five behaviours – Talk Positively, Collaborate Relentlessly, Encourage Constantly, Make a Difference and  Value Everyone. The categories also included our core programmes such as Zero Harm and Right First Time which underpin our culture. 

You can see all of our finalists and winners on the Icon Awards website.
