Local money, local jobs, measured.
We build local delivery teams rather than importing a workforce and taking the value away with us. Here is what we commit to, and how you hold us to it.
Social value is modelled for each programme against its location, scale, duration and agreed TOMs measures, using the Social Value Portal methodology, then reported quarterly against the KPIs below.
Concrete, local, and countable.
local tradespeople
Including a minimum of 2 apprentices. Our core team transitions out as local trades become proficient.
of subcontracted work to local SMEs
Backed by business development and compliance workshops, so local firms can actually meet the standard.
hours of skills training a year
On-the-job upskilling is how we have solved local labour shortages rather than importing a workforce.
a year to local charities
Financial and in-kind. Usable cleared items are donated rather than skipped.
The KPIs we report against.
Reported quarterly. If it is not measured, it is not a commitment.
