Headline sponsor announced at Best of South Tyneside Awards

In line with its growing community engagement programme, Castle is the headline sponsor at the Best of South Tyneside Awards.

Celebrating local heroes, businesses and community groups, the awards ceremony will be held at Boldon Park Newcastle South on 26 March.

Castle, which has its headquarters in Hebburn, recently launched a website dedicated to its growing community and stakeholder engagement activities within the borough. (www.castlecommunity.co.uk).

Craig Muldoon, Castle divisional director, Build, said: “The Best of South Tyneside Awards capture everything that we want to support and celebrate within the borough. Indeed, Castle is extremely proud to have its roots firmly embedded in South Tyneside, it is where our business started and from where we have spread our footprint across the north of England and Scotland.

“We employ many people from the borough and, along with all our staff, they have made us the highly successful company we are today. It has given us enormous pride to watch them flourish within their roles by offering career development programmes and upskilling.

“Through our wider community engagement programme, we have also come into contact with a wide range of organisations and individuals that are making a huge contribution to making the borough the great place that it is to live and work.

“That is why we had no hesitation in taking on the main sponsor role for this year’s awards and we wish all nominees the very best of luck.”

Castle is working on a number of projects across the borough, including as principal contractor for the new build South Tyneside College and South Shields Marine School.

The project is a partnership between Tyne Coast College and South Tyneside Council and is being delivered by Castle. It is funded by Tyne Coast College, the North East Combined Authority as part of North East Mayor Kim McGuinness’ drive to revitalise high streets, Department for Education and UK Government.

Community engagement activities around the project have been growing in momentum, with a key focus on relationship building with schools, young people and students studying at the college and this is set to grow during 2026.
