NEWS | We’ve Been Shortlisted for 2026 GRAHAM Supply Chain Awards

IG Masonry Support has been shortlisted in the Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and Innovation Trailblazer category for the 2026 GRAHAM Supply Chain Awards, recognising our contribution to Bendigo, a 13-storey mixed-use development in Nottingham’s East Side Regeneration Area.

Delivered in partnership with GRAHAM, Caxton Builders, and KAA Architects, the project saw IG supply a full package of off-site manufactured masonry systems, including B.O.S.S. A1 (Brick on Soffit Systems), Brick Slip Arches, Welded Masonry Support, Cast-in Channel, and precision-cut bricks.

The scheme’s complex façade features vertical and splayed brickwork projecting up to 975 mm across the 9th, 11th, and 13th floors, made achievable through off-site manufacture, with 53 Brick Slip Arches alone saving an estimated 2,000 labour hours while reducing time spent working at height.

Ryan Nicholl of GRAHAM said he was “extremely happy overall with IG Masonry Support’s product,” while Ian Knight of Caxton Builders described IG’s contribution as “instrumental in the successful delivery of the project.”

Andy Neal, Managing Director of IG Masonry Support, said: “Being shortlisted for these awards is a significant achievement, reflecting the innovative products, prefabrication and modern methods of construction we bring as a supplier – helping our customers maximise project quality, safety, and carbon reduction. I’m delighted that GRAHAM, one of our valued construction partners, has recognised these efforts.”

The shortlisting reflects Bendigo’s status as a benchmark for collaborative, prefabricated delivery – combining architectural ambition, programme efficiency, and sustainability, with B.O.S.S. A1 carbon neutral certified and Welded Masonry Support Passive House accredited. The awards ceremony will take place on Thursday 12th November 2026 in Belfast.
