About us

Responsibility

As a specialist in our field within the construction industry, we recognise the economic, social and environmental footprint of our business activity as being a fundamental consideration in our commitment to responsible and sustainable business growth incorporating commitment to our clients and our industry, to our workforce, the public and our environment. We embrace and adopt the many legal and ethical responsibilities our industry demands and take all necessary and reasonable steps to fulfil them. We have developed an Integrated Management System to include the three disciplines of Quality, Environment and Health and Safety, to continually review our business aims responsibly.

Modern Slavery

As part of the construction industry, we have a responsibility to adopt a robust approach against modern slavery and human trafficking. Our organisation is absolutely committed to preventing such practices in our own corporate activities and we ensure our supply chain operates in line with our standards of ethics and morality regarding this issue. Through training, due diligence and raising awareness, as well as operating policies including our anti-corruption & bribery policy, we aim to prevent, detect and report modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain.

Health and Safety

When it comes to our staff, clients and the general public who may enjoy the benefits of the projects we undertake, nothing is more important to us than health and safety. Through all levels of our Senior Management Team and staff, we provide the necessary information and training to ensure their competence with regard to such considerations. This, along with numerous initiatives and procedures we implement and maintain throughout the company, enables us to reduce the risk of accidents and preventable hazards that may endanger our staff and others.

We are continually reviewing and monitoring health and safety within the organisation in line with the requirements of ISO 45001:2018. The systems and procedures we have in place to keep our workforce and the public safe is recognised through the annual RoSPA Achievement Awards, and we are proud to be recent recipients of RoSPA Patrons Award, for 29 years of consecutive gold awards.
