We are delighted to announce that GMS Services Ltd has been shortlisted as a finalist in not one, but two prestigious categories at the Wigan Borough Business Awards 2026.

Construction Business of the Year 2026
Small Business of the Year 2026 (up to £5 million turnover)

Being recognised in both categories is a fantastic achievement and reflects the incredible hard work, dedication and professionalism of our entire team.

A Year of Growth and Success

Over the past 12 months, GMS has continued to build on its reputation as one of the UK’s leading specialists in water hygiene, Legionella risk management and commercial plumbing services.

During the year we have:

• Expanded our Midlands operations to support our growing customer base.
• Secured several significant new contracts across the housing, education and healthcare sectors.
• Continued to invest in our people through recruitment, training and career development.
• Enhanced our service offering with the growth of our commercial plumbing division.
• Maintained our commitment to delivering exceptional service, compliance and technical excellence for every client.

These achievements would not have been possible without the trust of our customers and the dedication shown by every member of the GMS team.

Recognition for the Whole Business

Being shortlisted for Construction Business of the Year recognises the quality, innovation and professionalism that GMS brings to every project, from planned preventative maintenance programmes to complex remedial works and specialist water hygiene services.

Equally, reaching the final for Small Business of the Year reflects the overall strength of our business, our sustainable growth, investment in people, customer service and the positive impact we continue to make across the region and beyond.

Thank You

We would like to thank our customers, suppliers, partners and everyone who has supported GMS throughout our journey. Your confidence in our business allows us to continue investing in our people and delivering the highest standards of service.

Most importantly, thank you to every member of Team GMS. This recognition belongs to all of you, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together.

We look forward to attending the awards ceremony and wish the very best of luck to all of the other finalists.
