To top off a fantastic year we were incredibly proud, and grateful, to receive recognition from Marks & Spencer for efforts delivering projects this year.

Renewal of the year 2025 (Swindon Orbital)

Main Contractor of the year 2025

This was a collaborative success supported by many people across consultants, supply chain partners, M&S stakeholders and our internal team. We look forward to delivering our next 3 schemes for M&S in the first quarter of 2026.

Uplands team came together for a rewarding Beach Clean Day at Weston-Super-Mare, demonstrating our shared commitment to environmental responsibility and community impact. Armed with gloves, litter pickers, and plenty of enthusiasm, we collected 61kg of waste and helped restore the beauty of this much-loved coastal spot. It was inspiring to see colleagues from across the company working side by side outside the office, making a tangible difference while strengthening our team spirit.

A huge thank-you to everyone who volunteered their time and energy.

We recently completed a full store refit including colleague areas following considerable asbestos removal, works were completed within a 10 week programme.

We’d like to thank all involved for efforts in delivering a great project.
