Acknowledged for its exceptional contribution to the built environment in 2025, Manning & Buckley Electrical secured the Fit Out Sub-Contractor of the Year award at the Fit Out Awards 2025, recognised for its ability to deliver complex, high-risk electrical packages with precision, safety, and consistency across live project environments.

Operating in environments where accuracy and programme certainty are critical, the team demonstrated a disciplined, solutions-led approach that ensured seamless delivery without disruption to ongoing operations.

Central to this success was a strong focus on workforce development and long-term capability building.
