“It really is a team effort at DB Sharp and Sons, and it’s great to see that the hard work of the whole team is being recognised.

“My father started this company some 38 years ago, and I’m sure he would be hugely proud to know we are now award-winning builders.”

The judges for the general builder award said they were impressed by the company’s journey through its expansion, while workign to maintain its core values of quality and customer service.

The refurbishment of the year award was judges on the work carried out at Jessamine House, a grade II*-listed Tudor house in Ashwell.

The judges were highly impressed with the quality of the work carried out.

Chris Watts, the firm’s business development manager said: “It’s fantastic to see the company recognised for its hard work and efforts. We have gone through significant growth over the past 18 months and its hugely rewarding to see that we have managed to do this while retaining what’s important to us – high quality workmanship and happy customers.

“With our expansion comes a new head office for the company and these two awards will look great being showcased in there.”
