GVA Celebrates Fourth National Highways Passport Gold Award
Consistency is often the hardest thing to maintain in high-stakes environments, but at GVA, it is simply how we operate. We are incredibly proud to announce that we have achieved a fourth National Highways Passport Gold Award.
This isn’t just a badge for the office wall; it is a reflection of a culture that refuses to cut corners on safety and site management.
Excellence on the M61: The Ash Dieback Delivery Scheme
This year’s recognition specifically highlights the stellar work on the M61 J5 – M6 Ash Dieback Delivery scheme. In a sector where conditions can change by the hour, the project team demonstrated exactly what “best practice” looks like in the field.
Why Gold Matters
The National Highways Passport Gold Award is reserved for contracts that demonstrate they are managing workforce data and safety in real time. By hitting this milestone four times, GVA has shown that our approach to safe, compliant, and well-managed operations isn’t a one-off effort—it is our standard operating procedure.
“Since we mandated the National Highways Passport in 2023, we have consistently aimed for Passport Gold. This award is a testament to the teams who do the ‘invisible’ work every day—the swiping, the checking, and the diligent reporting that ensures everyone goes home safe.”
Alan Gray, HSQE Manager, GVA
