Robertson Construction Group and RFM were both honoured for sustained excellence over the past year, with accolades covering safety leadership, operational best practice and environmental stewardship.

RFM won the coveted Facilities Management Sector Award, acknowledging world-class safety outcomes, strong management systems and a positive safety culture. The business also secured the RoSPA Scotland Trophy as the highest-performing Scottish entrant across the sector categories, reflecting consistent delivery of safe, high-quality services on public and private sector contracts.

In addition, RFM received a commendation in the Fall Prevention Trophy for innovation and best practice in cutting fall-related risks through training, systems and continuous improvement.

The accolades reinforce RFM's position as a leading total FM partner delivering year-round service excellence, underpinned by a focus on health, safety, wellbeing and continuous improvement. Its 1,300-strong team manages more than 4,500 buildings across the UK, with deep lifecycle asset management expertise providing long-term value and reliability for clients.

Across Robertson's eight regional construction businesses and Robertson Partnership Homes, the Group's commitment to health, safety and environmental excellence was also recognised. Robertson Construction Group was commended in the Dilmun International Environmental Award for environmental performance and was highly commended in the Construction Commercial Sector Award for outstanding, verifiable safety leadership, hazard management and injury prevention.

Robertson previously won RoSPA's highest environmental accolade — the Dilmun International Environmental Award — in 2024, an honour presented across all international sectors.

The business holds ISO 14001 accreditation and became one of the first UK built environment companies to achieve carbon neutrality in 2018. It has since evolved into a climate-positive organisation with a structured environmental management system, cutting emissions through renewable energy, the use of HVO fuel on sites and biodiversity initiatives, alongside a transition to zero operational emissions and a 100% fully electric or hybrid car fleet.

Elliot Robertson, Chief Executive Officer, Robertson Group, said: "These outstanding RoSPA achievements reflect the very best of our people and culture. It's a powerful reminder of the care, leadership and teamwork shown every day across our portfolio of businesses. Our principles-led safety, health and environmental culture is embedded across Robertson. Our success at these awards, which attract 2,000 different entries across nearly 60 countries, highlights how we are going above and beyond.

"Congratulations and thanks to everyone involved for ensuring that the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees, customers, supply chain and anyone involved in or impacted by our work remains our top priority."

Adrian Mole, Chief Executive Officer, RFM, said: "We work hard to embed the highest health and safety standards across everything we do, and that commitment, coupled with our focus on service excellence, is what makes us a trusted partner of choice. These industry-leading awards are testament to the strength of our people, who are our greatest asset and strive every day to deliver safe, high-quality services for our customers. It's immensely satisfying to know our commitment to safety and work continues to be recognised."

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the RoSPA Awards, which began as a small event recognising companies prioritising worker safety in the UK and has grown into the world's largest and most prestigious health and safety awards programme, with the 2026 awards attracting 2,000 different entries from nearly 60 countries.
