This is a different kind of inspiration post. This month we want to put a huge shout out to the Band of Builders Charity.
Band of Builders is the National Construction Charity providing practical, financial and wellbeing support for members of the UK construction industry and their families who face adversity due to illness, injury or life-changing circumstances.
Having been in the construction industry for over 30 years, we know first hand how worthwhile a cause this is. We’re very proud to support Band of Builders and we plan to help carry their incredibly important message and to keep the conversation going.
We recently had the pleasure of chatting to Nick Knowles, who came down to one of our sites during the shooting of a film for the BBC's The One Show. The film was timed to align with Mental Health Awareness Week and explored the issues surrounding the mental health crisis within the construction industry.
As we're writing this the show is still available to stream on BBC's iPlayer, and we’d recommend everyone watching it on catchup.
