AmcoGiffen

This week, AmcoGiffen is supporting Get up to Speed with STEM 2025 at Magna Science Adventure Centre. The two-day event is a live, annual careers showcase aiming to inspire students, parents and teachers and sees around 7,000 visitors. We're currently working on the new Magna Tram Train station project on behalf of South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority. We've used the opportunity to open a section of the site compound for event visitors including Hilary Chapman to see key elements of the the project and meet the site team. We’re also providing: ·        Sessions on the design of the new station ·        VR headsets ·        Welfare vans and PPE ·        STEM challenge and colouring centre ·        Women at AmcoGiffen representatives ·        How to get into construction talks ·        Plant and equipment displays from our supply partners Ainscough Crane Hire and Flannery Plant Hire Day one was all about secondary and college-age students and we set a challenge to build the tallest tower using spaghetti and marshmallows. We were hugely impressed with the winner who made the tallest and the widest tower. Congratulations to Ruby who impressed us by taking the time to think of a plan, executing it brilliantly with excellent design detail. #StepUpToSTEM #FindYourFuture

Great to attend the Manchester Airport Meet the Buyers event 2025, introducing AmcoGiffen to new suppliers and strengthening connections with MAG (Airports Group) and framework contractor partners. The day also featured insightful updates about environment and biodiversity plans and support for business and social value. Exciting opportunities ahead as we continue to build strong, responsible supply chains!   #MeetTheBuyer #Collaboration #StrongerTogether 

Keeping STEM Strong! 💪 💪   From hands-on bridge building workshops and inspiring careers talks we’re sparking curiosity and shaping future engineers.  A huge thank you to the 180 amazing students and the teachers at Dalziel High School for getting involved. #FindYourFuture #STEM #InspiringEngineers 👷♀️ 👷♂️ DYW LED Stella Chan

Driving Sustainability ♻️ This week, we hosted our third strategic supply chain sustainability conference, bringing together 16 key partners to explore the Circular Economy in action. The event featured three supplier stories showcasing real-life innovation, followed by an interactive workshop where teams identified Circular Economy opportunities on a historic bridge replacement project. Together, we’re making tangible progress on our journey because sustainability is a challenge we solve collaboratively. A huge thank you to our suppliers and partners for their insights and commitment and our hosts, Morson Talent #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #SupplyChain #Collaboration #SHEQ247

Helping handrails! 🙌 🙌 Blaendulais Primary School in Seven Sisters, Neath is proudly showing off its upgraded handrails after a helping hand 🤝 🤝 from our skilled volunteers. The refurbished safety rails have been hand-prepared ✍ stripped back, primed and hand painted 👈 by a local AmcoGiffen project team, along with colleagues from Network Rail and supply partner Centregreat Engineering – all hands on deck! 👐 👐 We’re currently working on a refurbishment scheme on the Ynysdawley viaduct nearby. We made the most of the project’s proximity to the school and put our handy 👏 skills to good use through our AmcoGiffen community impact volunteering hours. Every colleague is entitled to three working days, every year. Handy that! 🫶 🫶 #CommunityImpactDays #LeavingALegacy #StrongerTogether  

Doorstep Date with STEM 🥾 🥾 We recently visited St Maurice’s High School to facilitate two bridge-building workshops with S2 students. While we were there, we provided insights into the different career paths within civil engineering, the rail and construction industry and the options they might need to choose. 👷♀️ 👷♂️ The school is just a stone’s throw away from our regional office and we loved sharing our passion and inspiring potential engineers. A huge thank you to the students for their enthusiasm and engagement; the future of engineering is bright! 😎 #STEM #InspiringEngineers #FindYourFuture

Great work team!

Our team in Wales is building new platforms for Cardiff Bay Railway Station and a new station at Bute Street on behalf of Transport for Wales. Some of our project team used their community impact days by volunteering at the Ethnic Youth Support Team (EYST) charity, which is right on the doorstop of the project location. Our volunteers used their construction skills by renovating flooring, fixing doors, removing railings and clearing the outdoor space. This small act of giving our time has had a big impact on the charity, which helps provide support for ethnic minority youths to reach their fullest potential. Every colleague at AmcoGiffen is entitled to three days for community impact. They can use their days their way on organised company activities, project-related social value opportunities or something meaningful and personal to them. How would you use your days? #CommunityImpact #LocalSupport #TeamAmcoGiffen
