We’re so grateful to share that we’re finalists at the This Is Manchester Awards 2026! 🏆

ABC+ Warranty is in the running for Outstanding Business of the Year, while Adele Reid has been recognised as a finalist for both Woman of the Year and Entrepreneur of the Year.

We had such a fantastic time at last year’s awards, so we’re really looking forward to getting together as a team again and celebrating alongside some of the city's brilliant businesses and individuals.

Good luck to everyone shortlisted, and we’ll see you there! 🌟

What’s actually going into the buildings we use every day?

Once a development is complete, it can be easy to forget about everything sitting behind the walls, beneath the floors and within the structure itself. Yet knowing which products have been specified, supplied and installed can be important to how a building performs and is maintained over time.

With increasingly complex supply chains, clear and traceable product information is a crucial part of the process.

The Government’s 2026 Construction Products Reform White Paper sets out proposals to strengthen the regulatory framework and improve the records available about materials and products used in projects, including plans for a potential construction library.

For us, it highlights the significance of having clear guidance about the components and resources used throughout a project, from the initial specification through to the building’s future maintenance.

Have you spotted ABC+ Warranty in the latest issue of Business Connect Magazine? 🏡

Our feature explores the Government’s £39 billion Social and Affordable Homes Programme and what the investment could mean for the construction sector, with a particular focus on the opportunities across the North West.

With Greater Manchester expected to receive around £529 million to support approximately 4,400 new social and affordable homes, it represents an important opportunity for the region.

This is an area that is particularly relevant to ABC+ Warranty, with our Social Housing Warranty specifically tailored for eligible housing association developments.

A big thank you to Paul Mirage at Business Connect Magazine for including ABC+ Warranty in this edition.

At ABC+ Warranty, we’re always keen to support local organisations and communities that are important to the people within our business.

One of those is Charnock St James cricket club, where our Technical Building Surveyor, Waheed Mohammad, plays for Cornered Tigers CC Manchester.

We’re proud to sponsor the team and to see the ABC+ Warranty banners around the cricket ground. It’s great to play a small part in the local sporting community and the people who bring these clubs to life.

Wishing Cornered Tigers CC Manchester all the best next season! 🏏
