One of the elements we believe sets us apart from our competitors is our direct labour force, and the way in which they and all our employees are encouraged to become involved in the development of the company. We believe that the best route to a productive and profitable company is through a well trained, motivated and remunerated workforce, working in decent, safe conditions.
This has been supported by the findings of our recent Investors In People review which stated that:
'"The commitment to a high quality of work is specifically embraced and enjoyed by tradespeople and by team leaders."
Our direct employees include carpenters, bricklayers, decorators, labourers and gangers, as well as site managers and apprentices. Direct employment means not only a higher level of quality but also a consistency of product that comes from a settled team. Our staff turnover is very low, particularly for the construction industry and we have no problems recruiting at trade level. A direct labour force also allows us to take on a high percentage of apprentices and train our own future workforce.
