GAB Robins' construction team helped engineers win a race against time to have the 115ft high Falkirk Wheel ready for the Queen's Jubilee tour.

The engineers battled to finalise repairs to the wheel after vandals damaged it.

The £17.5m wheel is set to become one of Scotland's most popular tourist attractions, with 150,000 visitors expected this year.

It connects the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals by using a rotating capsule to take boats from the upper to the lower level of the waterways, creating a coast-to-coast sailing route for the first time in 70 years.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
