Awards and Endorsement
As these awards are generally assessed by interviews directly with our people, it’s great to have them to understand how we all feel about work. But what does that mean to our clients?
Happy, more motivated staff produce better quality work, when we have our career development supported we are more dedicated. When we have our individual aspirations and goals acknowledged we feel more fulfilled and give a better service. It allows for better delivery expertise and retention of expertise. For these reasons we are proud to have achieved the following…..
Once again we have achieved the fantastic accolade of achieving 2 star status. The Best Company 2 star accreditation system is recognition of all that we have done to make our organisation one of the best places to work. It shows that we care about our employees – their wellbeing as well as their careers – and that we see workplace engagement as a vital part of success.

We won ‘Skills Initiative of the Year’.
The Skills Initiative of the Year category was open to all construction organisations and rewards those who have invested in the training and skills needed to create a construction workforce that will support the industry’s needs today and in the future, creating a sector which is technically skilled, technologically advanced and is able to attract future talent. Those who have over the past year invested in a particularly innovative or successful approach to addressing the industry’s skills needs; whether by attracting new entrants to the sector, promoting construction as a career or upskilling the current workforce in their business or the wider sector.
