Apprenticeships are a key strand of our talent pipeline and we’ve been championing the careers of young people for the past 20 years 💪
With so much talk around the construction skills gap, now’s the time for contractors to start rethinking their employment strategy by putting a focus on the role apprentices play in building a resilient, well rounded business.
Our director, Tony Mitchell has been at the helm of our apprenticeship programme for years, and has certainly learnt a thing or two along the way. Read our latest thought leadership piece at Construction News for his expert insights.

















Chesterfield Canal has been the talk of the office this morning, with its appearance on this morning’s BBC News.
The bridge, installed by our team last October, looked fantastic on the big screen, but it looks even better in person! 🌉
This project was about connecting communities and regenerating a historic part of Chesterfield.
Working with The Chesterfield Canal Trust Ltd, we’re proud to have played a part in restoring this beautiful site, bringing communities together and providing a place for cyclists and pedestrians to enjoy! 🚵♀️🚶
Catch a glimpse of the bridge here at 1 hour 26 minutes: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002g69b
