Connaught scooped the team of the year award at the BITC awards for their Ashton Vale Club for Young People refurbishment in Bristol, in what is being hailed as the largest project of its kind in the south-west.
Business in the Community's Awards for Excellence are UK awards recognising companies for integrating responsible business practice into their mainstream operations resulting in a positive impact in the marketplace, the workplace, the environment and the community. Team of the year recognises the commitment the team made and the team skills developed, while making an impact in the local community.

Lee Williams, Young Bristol Clubs Support Manager said: "This Award is justly deserved for the commitment Connaught has shown to one of the forgotten areas of the City, namely Ashton Vale and in particular the young people who use the refurbished Youth Centre in ever increasing numbers. Although the project has been completed, Connaught remain in contact with us and continue to take an active interest in the Clubs activities. This speaks volumes for the Company, its culture and its employees who committed in excess of £180K towards this refurbishment project and are now working with our National Organisation to do similar projects in other areas of the Country. I would also like to thank BITC for the excellent work they did in matching us with Connaught."
