Recognised for innovation at TechFest 2024

We’re proud to share that Skyline Cockpit, in partnership with Radius Group, has been awarded Highly Commended at the Construction News TechFest Awards 2024.

Our nomination in the Best Use of Technology: Health, Safety & Wellbeing category recognised the impact of remote crane operation in improving not just site safety—but operator wellbeing, inclusion, and connection. By relocating tower crane control to ground level, Skyline Cockpit is reshaping the role entirely: less isolation, more interaction, and a safer, smarter way to work.

The judges summed it up simply:
“This is how the future should look. An open door to a lot of potential in changing the construction industry.”

The recognition caps off an 18-month collaboration with Radius Group to bring this technology into active use across the UK and Europe. We were also proud to support the event as sponsors of the Best Use of Technology: Site Productivity award.

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees—and thank you to TechFest for championing innovation that moves the industry forward.
