Highways Awards: Deadline extended as star host revealed

Highways can reveal that the prestigious Highways Awards will be hosted by TV personality Gabby Logan MBE this year, and the submissions deadline for the event has been extended until 23 May.

As one of the UK's most accomplished and respected sports presenters, Ms Logan brings her exceptional charisma, professionalism, and presenting expertise to this leading celebration of excellence in the highways sector.

Her extensive experience hosting high-profile events and her down-to-earth style make her a perfect choice to lead the awards celebration. She's fronted the BBC’s Inside Sport, Final Score, and live coverage of the FA Cup, as well as coverage of rugby, athletics, and the Olympics.

'We've already had a record number of entries, as these awards grow in size every year, but we recognise how busy everyone is and understand that due to their schedules, some organisations might benefit from extra time to showcase their achievements fully. The extension to 23 May gives our industry professionals valuable additional time to prepare their submissions. Good luck to all who enter,' said Dominic Browne, editor of Highways.

The Highways Awards 2025 will celebrate outstanding projects, innovations and individuals who have made significant contributions to the highways industry over the past year.

There are still some tables available for booking. Take advantage of our exclusive super early booking rate available until Friday, 31 May 2025.
