A message from our Managing Director
This year has been one of steady progress across our environmental, social and governance priorities. We have continued to refine the way we operate, strengthen our partnerships, and invest in initiatives that support our people, our communities and the wider built environment. Much of this work builds on foundations laid in previous years, reflecting our belief that meaningful impact is achieved through consistent action and long-term commitment.
Our teams have deepened their impact through our long-standing partnership with Thames21, expanded our Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion activities, and accelerated the evolution of the Hilson Moran Academy to support the next generation of talent.
We have also taken meaningful steps on our journey to net zero, securing independent certifications across our offices and helping clients deliver projects that meet the highest sustainability standards. This includes the Living Lab achieving BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinum, alongside the recertification of our Manchester office as WELL Gold.
Recognition through industry awards continues to reinforce the value of this approach. Our Living Lab was honoured with both the BCO London Award and a MIX Award, reflecting its role as a high-performing, people-centred workplace. Innovation across the practice has also been recognised at the CIBSE Building Performance Awards, with CarbonMe acknowledged for its contribution to improving carbon insight and decision-making across the built environment.
Crucially, our continued investment in people and culture was recognised at the CIBSE Young Engineers Awards 2025, where Hilson Moran was named Employer of the Year in the Medium-Sized Business category and went on to receive the Overall Employer of the Year title.
As we continue our B Corp journey, we remain focused on creating a business that contributes positively to society: one that enables our people to thrive, improves outcomes for our clients and communities, and plays a leading role in shaping a more resilient, low-carbon built environment.
