A marvellous job at Telford Junior School!🏫

Giving back to our local community is one of our most important values, and last month this meant spending the day at Telford Infant School to help with a playground makeover!🏫

We got our hands muddy upgrading planters, trimming back foliage and removing old pieces of wood that were no longer needed.

We're so proud of our team for giving up their sunny weekend to support the local community, the school looks fantastic and everyone is very pleased with their work!

Take a look at some behind the scenes pictures from the day!👇

Celebrating Earth Day 2026 at Chesterfield Canal!🌍

Helping to keep one of the Midlands' most historic waterways at its best...🚣‍♂️

This week, we took part in a litter pick along the historic Chesterfield Canal, which runs for around 46 miles from Chesterfield to West Stockwith and an important part of the wider Midlands community we operate in. 🚣‍♂️

Supporting a site with such strong regional and engineering heritage is a natural fit for us, and keeping the canal clean through litter picking is a simple hands-on way we can help preserve its history, while investing our time back into the places that shape our region. 🤝
