Success stories

How has the community benefited from our contracts? Here are just a few examples.

Birmingham Road multi-storey car park demolition

Cawarden recently completed a contract to knock down the underused multi-story car park on Birmingham Road. This is part of larger plans to create a new public plaza in the city centre. They delivered a total of £1.13 million of social value for the local community, as shown in our case study video below.

New leisure centre at Stychbrook Park

Stepnell is building the new leisure centre and has committed to support the local community by:

  • hiring two local full time employees for the full length of the contract
  • working with local schools and colleges
  • mentoring local unemployed people in their careers
  • buying the majority of building supplies from local businesses (within 30 miles of the construction site)
  • supporting the local Greenway project
  • partnering with local charities
  • and much more!

Stepnell has already worked with students from Chase Terrace Academy to run a special 4-week project, in which students submitted their designs to feature on the temporary fencing around the construction site. Throughout the project, Stepnell aims to deliver £3.12 million of social value locally.
