The win in the leadership category acknowledges the strategic direction and organisational development demonstrated by FP McCann as it continues to expand and evolve. The judging panel recognised the company's ability to steer a workforce of more than 1,700 employees through a period of growth, operational enhancement and sector innovation.

The commendation in the sustainability category reflects FP McCann’s progress on its environmental roadmap, including its Net Zero 2050 commitments, investment in renewable energy initiatives, and carbon-reduction strategies across its operations.

The company also celebrated the nomination of Henry Heron for Young Business Personality of the Year — a recognition of emerging talent within the organisation and the wider construction and manufacturing sector.

FP McCann said the acknowledgements reinforce the contribution of its workforce across all departments and locations, noting that the awards reflect the collective effort, technical expertise and innovation of its teams.

The company extended congratulations to fellow finalists and winners at what has become one of the most anticipated events in the Northern Ireland business calendar.
