About Us → Our Impact

Our Impact

How we work, what we stand for, and the difference we make.

As a UK-wide workforce partner employing over 1,600 people, we understand the impact we make and are dedicated to ensuring it is a positive one.

Our impact is measured not only in projects delivered, but in the way we look after our people, support communities, champion inclusion, and reduce our environmental footprint.

Social value Community impact Inclusion and sustainability

Social Value

We work closely with our clients and community partners to deliver meaningful social value outcomes as part of their wider objectives. From creating local employment opportunities to supporting small businesses and delivering skills-based initiatives, we help ensure every project leaves a positive legacy in the communities it serves.

Our EDI Priorities

Our EDI work is built around three priorities: representation, culture and access.

Representation

  • Improve the diversity of candidates and hires at all levels.
  • Track and analyse workforce data to understand gaps and opportunities.
  • Align project teams with local demographics where possible.

Culture & Inclusion

  • Create a workplace where people feel safe to speak up and be themselves.
  • Embed wellbeing and inclusion into performance, leadership and people policies.
  • Use surveys, feedback loops and campaigns to understand lived experience and act on it.

Access & Opportunity

  • Provide apprenticeship, training and progression pathways, targeting at least 5% of our workforce in apprenticeship roles.
  • Offer two paid volunteering days per year so colleagues can support causes that reflect their values and communities.
  • Partner with organisations supporting young people, ex-offenders and those facing barriers to work.

Our Recent Social Impact

We believe social value should be measurable, not just meaningful. That’s why we actively track and report on the impact of our initiatives so our partners and communities can see the real results. In 2025, we achieved:

Tonnes of CO2 saved

Measurable social value. These figures reflect our ongoing commitment to creating meaningful impact for people, communities, clients and the environment.

Policies, Strategies & Reports

Our impact is not a standalone initiative. It is built into how we operate. From our ISO-certified management systems and modern slavery commitments, to our social value partnerships, flexible working policies and focus on mental health, each impact area supports our teams to deliver safely, responsibly and sustainably.
