GREELEY, CO — For the seventh year, Hensel Phelps has been awarded the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) National Diversity Excellence Award in the General Contractor – Over $33 Million category. The award recognizes Hensel Phelps’ dedication to small business outreach and achieving the highest possible level of diverse business inclusion on each of the projects the company undertakes.
Brad Lewis, Corporate Director of Supplier Diversity, credits the project teams who implement corporate commitment to small business and help foster a healthy, competitive local business community.
“It is an honor to accept this award on behalf of Hensel Phelps,” Lewis said. “It is no surprise to me that we have won this award seven times. Credit goes to our project teams who are committed to increasing the capacity of our small businesses. As a large general contractor, it is our responsibility to grow the future large businesses.”
The winning companies, selected from entries submitted from across the nation, were judged based on the diversity of the company: a focus on diversity in hiring practices, training and retention, contractor/vendor relationships, among other criteria. The award ceremony was held in Long Beach, California, during the 2019 ABC Convention.
A full list of winners is available on ABC National’s website. To learn more about Hensel Phelps’ diversity programs, visit the Employee Diversity page at henselphelps.com/employee-diversity/.
