the green roofing, with each flat benefitting
from a winter garden balcony.

teams remain busy, currently working on 82%
of our own projects.

Our training centre continues to be successful
in delivering accredited

We have had an overwhelming response to the
courses we offer, our centre has become
increasingly popular and is keeping the training
team busy. Our fully qualified trainer, Paul
Phillips delivers the training with passion and
through his style of delivery, has generated a
great deal of repeat business for the company.
The feedback we receive from delegates has
been excellent and assures us that we are
offering a first class service.
Our Social Secretary, Mark Sherwood has
organised yet another challenge this Summer.
25 members of staff will be taking part in the
Dunkirk-Bruges Bike Challenge where they will
be cycling over 100 miles; to Bruges by the
coastal route and back to Dunkirk by the
inland route. The team will be raising as much

Giving Page will be uploaded to Twitter soon.
Last but not least a huge congratulations to
our Buyer, Victoria Cawkill and Site Manager

recent years and keep our fingers crossed for a
sunny, dry day!
