A Northamptonshire company has been named a finalist for Innovation of the Year at the 2025 National Building and Construction Awards.

See Limited, a group holding company specialising in the supply, distribution and fabrication of wood veneer and decorative laminate panels, has been recognised for its work to cut carbon emissions across the built environment sector.

The company has launched a series of sustainable product ranges, including:

  • BioCarbon Laminates – the UK’s first zero-carbon driven range of laminates for commercial washrooms

  • BioCarbon Worktops – the UK’s first carbon neutral kitchen worktop aimed at homeowners

  • Supplying sustainable materials such as SanFoot® Real Wood Veneer and BioCarbon Laminates to high-profile projects including The Londoner Hotel, Stansted Airport and JFK Airport

It has also partnered with environmental consultants to produce independent lifecycle analyses and annual sustainability reports, while promoting the use of low-emission, GreenGuard Gold certified materials in UK classrooms and laboratories.

Managing director Daniel McNerney said: “We had a phenomenal year of award success in 2024 and 2025 looks set to be even bigger with an award win and three finalist spots already secured. Innovation for See Limited isn’t just about new products, it’s about rethinking the impact we have as a business.”

This is the third time See Limited has been recognised nationally this year, adding to finalist places at the Construction News Awards and the Construction News Specialist Awards, alongside a Gold Award for Business Innovation at the SME Northamptonshire Business Awards.

The winners of the National Building and Construction Awards will be announced at a ceremony in London on 10 October.
