Arup claimed the top spot in the NCE100 awards in June of this year, as a result of overwhelming endorsement from clients, peers and staff.
NCE100 is New Civil Engineers (NCE) independent, authoritative assessment of what it means to be an excellent civil engineering practice. Arup moved to the top spot after being ranked third in 2017.

In their coverage of Arup's success NCE said;
"Arup stood clear of its rivals when it comes to collaboration, with more peers and clients particupating in the NCE100 citing Arup as a company they enjoyed working with more than anyone else. And this clear satisfaction level extended to its staff, with 96% of those taking part in the NCE100 survey agreeing that Arup was "great" and that they had no desire to work anywhere else."
Arup also won the coveted Collaborative Firm of the Year award for a second year running. This recognises the firm most cited as one that other companies enjoyed working collaboratively with, or would like to work with by their reputation for exhibiting collaborative behaviours.
The awards night was attended by the Infrastructure London leader Tim Chapman and Arup staff from across the firm as well as clients and collaborators.
