A Co Down building company has been named as the UK's top construction firm for 2011.

Celebrating the best builders in the UK, the FMB said: "We know they're the best builders because it's the clients that have nominated them for the award; which is what makes the Master Builder of the Year awards so special."

This year Phil Spencer of Channel 4 'Location, Location, Location made the announcement. This is the first time in the 10 year history of the awards that the winning builder has come from Northern Ireland, which is a fantastic recognition and celebration of the quality workmanship in the province.
