Social value is at the heart of what we do. In the last two years, despite the challenges of Covid-19, we have continued to drive social value, creating lasting legacies:
A key driver of the Government’s economic and social value policies is to maximise employment and skills opportunities through public sector investments. It is our responsibility to support our public sector clients in delivering best value. To achieve this, we offer a dedicated Skills and Engagement Co-ordinator, Matt Bust, to manage our employment and training commitments on our projects.
