Van Elle was named the winner of the Specialist Contractor of the Year category after wowing the judges with an impressive presentation and the quality of its operations. The judges described the geotechnical services firm as the "stand-out company in its field" and an "outstanding player in what is a niche market". They were especially impressed with the firm's global reach - particularly Van Elle's commitment to working in incredibly difficult conditions, acknowledging its eight-month project in the Falkland Islands as a prime example. On top of this, the company's business plan was highlighted as being "remarkably forward-looking", the judging panel pointing to Van Elle's 12-year planning cycle and strong financial base as particularly admirable.
