Better starts with...
As founding members of the Construction Industry Council (CIC), we live by "We're better together" to build a brighter future. Building a diverse and inclusive industry, improving equity, diversity, and inclusion (ED&I) helps us better reflect our communities, attract top talent, and foster innovation. By living our values — "We care" and "We give our best to be the best" — we'll create meaningful change.
Building better for everyone
Our industry has some huge challenges to tackle over the next few years. The built environment currently produces almost 40% of carbon emissions in the UK. As a business, we are committed to reducing carbon within our industry by driving modern building techniques and upskilling our customers to make use of these.
We see training and development, including apprenticeships, as vital to achieve these ambitions. Joining us will give you real opportunities to positively impact our business, and our industry.
