🎉🔟 Congratulations, Mark Clegg! 🏆 We're celebrating our Operations Director as he reaches his 10-year milestone with Aptus. 👷 Mark joined Aptus in 2014 as Operations Manager and has been integral to the business success over the past decade. His dedication and achievements were rewarded in 2017 with a promotion to the Director position. 📈 Overseeing operations, design and technical, Mark has been instrumental in steering the business to Operational Excellence across all of our regions. 👏 Well done on reaching the 10-year milestone Mark, and a huge thank you from your colleagues at Aptus!

We’re proud to have featured in Honch’s list on such an important topic! Mental Health Awareness is something that we will continually shout about 📣💚

💜🧠 Today is World Mental Health Day 🧠💜   This year the theme is ‘Prioritising Mental Health in the Workplace’. Mental health continues to be a major concern for our industry with construction workers nearly four times more likely to die by suicide and issues including depression and anxiety estimated to cost the UK around £2.1 billion each year. 💚 At Aptus the diversity of skills and the varying demands placed on our workforce are key considerations in our mental health support strategies. This includes our commitment to making mental health awareness training and #mentalhealth first aid training available to all our colleagues – we’re proud to have 40 of our team successfully complete their training with MHFA England® so far. 💚 Our Health & Wellbeing Campaign is another avenue through which we offer practical tools and resources to help people maintain their mental wellbeing. We also know the importance of connection and events including our annual family fun day and Christmas party are another way we can bring people together and reinforce relationships that can be beneficial for wellbeing. 💚 One of the most important steps we can all take on #WMHD2024 is to talk about mental health and collectively work to remove the stigma which prevents people from discussing their problems. 💭 In our post we look at more of the ways Aptus supports mental health in the workplace, which includes links to support groups and charitable organisations like The Lighthouse Charity, #ANDYSMANCLUB and the Mental Health Foundation - who are all there to help anyone in need.

🏠⚡ With energy bills set to rise this autumn new homeowners will be increasingly concerned about the reliability of their new property’s electricity supply. As experts in electrical infrastructure Aptus can assist #housebuilders and #propertydevelopers to ensure that new homes are delivered with robust electrical infrastructure. We recommend seven strategies which can significantly enhance the electrical stability and efficiency of new build homes.  🔌 Proper Electrical Design – Professional planning is essential to ensure that the electrical infrastructure can meet both the current and future needs of homeowners. 🔌 High-quality wiring and components – By choosing quality components, you are not just building homes, you are building trust with your buyers and establishing a reputation for excellence in the market. 🔌 Smart Home Integration – Smart home technology can be a significant selling point for your properties, and can play a crucial role in ensuring reliable electricity. 🔌 Backup Power Solutions – Backup solutions ensure that essential systems remain operational during power disruptions, giving peace of mind to homeowners. 🔌 Surge Protection and Power Conditioning – Protecting the electrical system from power fluctuations is crucial for maintaining reliability and safeguarding against damage. 🔌 Regular Maintenance and Inspections – While ongoing maintenance will be the homeowner’s responsibility, setting up a maintenance framework demonstrates housebuilders’ commitment to long-term quality and helping homeowners maintain the value of their investment.  🔌 Education and User Awareness – Educating homeowners about their electrical systems and promoting awareness of efficient usage practices ensures better system performance and reduces the likelihood of user-caused issues.
