The Gate & Barrier Contractor of the Year category gives contractors the opportunity to showcase the quality of their work across all sectors, with entries judged on standards of precision, attention to detail, innovation, creativity and overall workmanship.
As part of the entry requirements, companies must also submit key safety and compliance documentation including a Risk Assessment Method Statement (RAMS), a Compliance & Residual Risk Assessment and a Declaration of Conformity. These documents are essential in demonstrating that installations are safe, compliant and professionally delivered.
All finalists will be invited to attend the awards ceremony, which will take place at Old Trafford in Manchester on 12th November 2026.
As part of its continued work across the industry, DHF remains committed to promoting gate safety and compliance. Powered gates and barriers are now a key part of many modern installations, making it increasingly important that systems are installed, maintained and operated safely. Training and competence continue to play an important role in supporting these standards. Through recognised training programmes, DHF helps industry professionals understand current legislation, risk assessment requirements and safe installation practices.
