100 and Counting: Heroes Awards Hit Key Nomination Milestone in Record Time

This year’s Heroes Awards are already gathering serious momentum, with over 100 nominations submitted in record time—and organisers are urging the industry not to slow down, with entries still open until 19 June.

The early surge highlights the strength, dedication and innovation across the highways and transportation sector, with individuals and teams being recognised for the vital role they play in keeping the network moving and communities safe.

Reaching the 100-nomination mark so quickly underlines just how much the awards have grown in stature, cementing their position as a leading platform for celebrating those who go above and beyond—often without recognition.

The Heroes Awards shine a spotlight on excellence across the sector, from frontline operatives and unsung heroes to leadership, innovation and long-term contribution. Each nomination tells a powerful story of commitment—whether it’s improving safety, delivering infrastructure, or supporting colleagues and communities.

Alicia Hibberts, Operations Director at the Heroes Awards, said:“Reaching 100 nominations this early is a fantastic milestone and really shows just how much passion and pride there is across the sector. These awards are about recognising the people who make a real difference every day—often without the recognition they deserve. We know there are so many more stories out there, so I’d encourage everyone to take the time to nominate someone and make sure their contribution is seen and celebrated.”

Despite the milestone, there is still plenty of time to enter, with nominations open until 19 June. Organisers are encouraging companies and individuals alike to put forward those who deserve recognition, ensuring no story goes untold.

With entries continuing to build, this year’s awards are shaping up to be one of the most competitive yet—further reinforcing their reputation as the pinnacle of recognition across the highways and transportation sector.

As the countdown to the deadline continues, the message is clear: 100 is just the beginning.
