ANTZ UK Limited

Why ANTZ? Our name comes simply from nature’s most business-led, community-driven creature: the Ant! Like Ants, we like to keep things simple. Our ethos is rooted in the value of working together and we are dedicated to creating systems, structures and strategies that support business and community partners to thrive in unison. We believe that there are many things we can learn from the small but mighty Ant: 1) Don’t Overthink! Ants don’t overthink. They each have a job to do and they get on with it! Every ant has their part to play and each role is significant to the colony's success. 2) We are smarter together. Ants use the wisdom of their network to create efficiency and achieve things that they couldn’t do alone by working together! They mentor each other and know the importance of effective communication. 3) Strong Structures Save Lives! One of the most fascinating things ants do is form living structures that serve all sorts of purposes. Working together, ants can build anything from bridges across large gaps, or even an ark to survive the flood of the rainy season! The common denominator in the extraordinary feats achieved by tiny ants is this - they work together and benefit from the strength of their community. Let’s be more like ants!

ANTZ UK Limited is proud to partner with Laing O'Rourke to deliver life-changing programmes that transform how we do business and leave a lasting legacy in our communities.   Working alongside the Laing O'Rourke team, we built a referral network across the West Midlands, uncovering the amazing talent hidden in our communities. Hidden? Or maybe we just haven’t been looking in the right places!   By embedding a risk and governance framework, we supported communities, employees, and the business as a whole. People drove the shift in mindset, and the team led by Alex Mayes impacted more than just those who completed the programme - the programme truly embraced Laing O'Rourke’s purpose - ‘to push the boundaries of what is possible in the service of humanity’!   #SocialValue #SocialImpact #Teamwork #CorporateValues #Innovation #PrisonLeaverSupport #CollaborationIsKey #RenewedHorizons
