Story Decorating Group received a ‘Highly Commended’ award at the 2025 Construction News Specialists Awards on September 2.
The award was given for their work on The Haymarket Project in Edinburgh, in the ‘Project of the Year by a Specialist Contractor (subcontract from £2m to £5m)’ category.
Judges praised the company’s approach, saying: “The panel was impressed by the presenters’ personable and passionate approach, commitment to local employment and sustainability solutions, and pride in delivering high-quality work on a high-profile project.
“The clear desire to innovate through digital solutions was noted.”
Rob Story, managing director of Story Decorating Group, said: “Having already picked up two other significant accolades for the project earlier this year, the recognition from the CN Specialists awards further solidifies what we accomplished at Haymarket Square.
“The team involved are rightly proud of the project and it has meant a great deal to receive such positive feedback.
“To be selected not only within the decorating industry, but across the wider UK construction industry, will hopefully raise the profile of the hard work we do and attract people to work both for us and with us.”
The Construction News Specialists Awards are designed to celebrate achievements by specialist contractors across the UK, with more than 200 submissions reviewed through a judging process.
Story Decorating Group’s entry was supported by a presentation to the judging panel in London by Rob Story, managing director, and Adam Lee, senior contracts manager.
