Speaking about the Award, Kevin Robinson, one of the founders of the Highways Heroes Award said,
"You think as the event director of the Highways Heroes you have seen it all and then somebody comes along and truly floors you with a story of sheer triumph over adversity and a bloody mindedness that life simply will not beat them and despite the significant challenges they face this individual is going to win no matter what.
"Not an act of random kindness, not somebody who has gone above and beyond whilst not once asking for thanks but instead but whose back story simply moves you to say wow.
"Without giving too much away, this year's winner is somebody whose achievements truly moved the two of us to tears when we heard their story and as such we felt, in the true spirit of the ceremony we could not let this individual go unnoticed."

At BakerHicks, we are incredibly proud to play a part in this unique celebration and by sponsoring the Hero in Highways Award, we recognise the strength and determination of one very brave individual. I look forward to meeting them at the awards in November."
