Centre of Excellence takes home the win
Last night’s NFB Construction Awards of Excellence in Birmingham brought a fantastic moment of pride for Simpson. Two of our projects were shortlisted: Hull Maritime Museum—recognised in both the Remarkable Restoration and Renovation and Heritage and Conservation Project categories—and the Centre of Excellence, shortlisted for Excellence in Educational Building.
While Hull Maritime Museum narrowly missed out, we are thrilled to announce that the Centre of Excellence was named the winner of Excellence in Educational Building.
This project represents something truly special: a world‑class hub for heritage craft skills, supporting research, training, and the future of traditional craftsmanship. Being part of its journey has been a privilege.
Congratulations to everyone who helped bring this award‑winning project to life.

Hull Maritime Museum Opens its doors.
It's great to see Hull Maritime Museum finally reopen its doors to the public after being closed since January 2020. The opening weekend was a huge success, attracting strong support from residents, visitors, and stakeholders, and marking a proud milestone for the city. With tickets sold out throughout the weekend and plenty of walk-up visitors welcomed too, it was clear there was a real excitement to experience the museum once again.
Having been part of this regeneration project for the past three years, Simpson is incredibly proud to have contributed to bringing this important landmark back to life. It's fantastic to see the museum now open and being enjoyed by so many people
