Supporting the local community
Between works phases, the team has been volunteering their time and donating materials to help with improvements to the local rugby club. So-far this has involved improvement works to both the car park entrance and parking facilities.
Promoting opportunities for everyone
The team supported Weston College’s Construction Training Centre with its first ‘Women in Construction’ event. Collaborating with contractors across the south west, the team helped showcase the diverse range of opportunities that our industry has to offer. The event was a great success with students visiting from local schools, colleges, and apprenticeship providers.
