COMPANY
Established in 1994, Elev8 Interiors Ltd is a family-ownedbusiness based in West London, specialising in office andcomputer room fit-outs, building refurbishment, and high-end residential work.
A highly inclusive staff culture and an exceptionalcommitment to considerate standards were the hallmarksof this company’s activities. An active Open Door policyencourages all site staff to share ideas and identifysolutions, resulting in a real feeling of project ownershipand involvement. Training standards were equallyimpressive, with a training matrix and regular reviews
ensuring every operative could continually improve theirskill set. The same enthusiasm was extended to supportingthe local communities surrounding each site, with treeplanting, lectures for schools, charity donations and oddjobs for neighbours all being regular features.
Despite typical project lengths of only six to twelve weeks,this company observed every detail of considerateconstruction to the highest level. Combined with superbsite presentation and top safety performance, this trailblazing company was deemed as being a first-rateambassador to the aims of the Scheme.
Elev8 Interiors Ltd
This division of Kier, based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire,delivers residential maintenance services for social housingand local authority properties throughout the area.
A particularly high level of clothing and protective wear forall conditions evidenced this company’s commitment to thewelfare of its workforce. This was supported by regular safetytraining including Working at Height and the provision ofoccupational health nurses at the main depot. Interactionwith local communities was also well-established, with the
development of ‘hubs’ throughout the area giving manyopportunities and local labour initiatives. These willundoubtedly provide a real legacy in the Sheffield area.
Constant attention to improving service delivery wasmatched by a strong environmental commitment,including several depot energy-saving schemes. Together,all these elements combined to produce an exceptionalconsiderate performance of great credit to the industry.
