We’re pleased to support Suffolk Tree Wardens with a donation of £500 as well as a significant number of Heras panels. The panels will help keep deer out of woodland areas under active management. Deer graze on young trees and new growth, which prevents woodland from developing properly. Suffolk Tree Wardens are a county‑wide network of volunteers who work with local communities to plant, protect and care for trees and woodlands across Suffolk. It’s great to be able to contribute in a small practical way.

We have officially broken ground on the expansion of Stowmarket High School. We were pleased to mark this milestone last week alongside our project partners, Suffolk County Council, Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils, and Concertus. The expansion will deliver a new, purpose built two storey teaching block, increasing the school’s capacity from 900 to 1,200 students and supporting long term demand for high quality education in the area. The building will provide 11 classrooms, a group room, a new hall, and new toilet facilities, enhancing the school’s ability to offer modern, flexible learning environments. Alongside the new block, the project also includes a series of internal upgrades across the existing school estate.

The new library at Tyndale House is well underway. Basement excavation is nearly complete, ground beams are in, drainage and ducting works are underway, and the tower crane is fully erected and operational. The first Considerate Constructors visit scored an impressive 44/45. When completed, the new facility will house a new two-storey library on the ground floor, as well as 10 resident bedrooms and a dining room on the top floor. In the basement, a chapel and break out area will be created.

Sometimes one conversation can open the door to a whole new career. For Women in Construction Week, our Management Trainee Morgan Reddington shared how Women in Construction Anglia opened the door to opportunities she hadn’t considered before joining us and our Assistant Bid Manager, Katie Smith, who also came through the trainee programme, inspired students on the panel at the Essex Build Expo.

Yesterday, Sarah and Morgan visited Ipswich Academy to meet with students from Years 8, 9 and 10. Careers fairs are always a great opportunity to engage with young people and highlight the wide range of career paths our industry has to offer. We were pleased to attend alongside many other businesses, including DPL Group Ltd (April Broadberry), to inspire and support the next generation as they begin to explore their future paths.

Some of our team spent time volunteering with FareShare UK last week, helping to prepare donation boxes in their warehouse right next door to our office. FareShare addresses two pressing issues - over 4 million tonnes of good food go to waste in the UK each year, while millions struggle to afford meals. By redistributing surplus food to local charities and outlets, they reach nearly 1 million people annually, supporting 8,000 charities and redistributing 56,000 tonnes of food. It’s fantastic to see our team lending a hand and supporting such important work.
