Houlton

We're attending the fantastic event hosted by Beverley Leisure Homes today at Tickton, showing our support and exploring the opportunities available for those impacted by the recent job losses. It’s inspiring to see the industry come together to support one another, and we hope this event serves as a positive step forward for many.

We were excited to attend our first HEY Children’s University (HEYCU) event since partnering with them last month! Our SHEQ Manager, Scott Spaven, and Pre-Construction & Marketing Assistant, Riannon Speechley, had a fantastic time at today's careers fair, engaging with pupils from St Charles and Stepney Primary School about the importance of health and safety in construction. It was great to see their enthusiasm, and we even came away with some amazing posters to display in our site cabins! Big thanks to HEYCU for organizing such a valuable event—looking forward to the next one!

Supporting the Humberside Police Lifestyle Night Challenge! Houlton was proud to continue supporting this year’s Lifestyle Night Challenge, providing generators, lighting, portaloos, and plenty of Mars Bars to fuel the young participants. A special mention to retired Contracts Manager Robin Forster, who returned to help with the setup as Dave and Riannon took the reins following his retirement. Well done to all who took part. A big thank you to Dave, Jack and Riannon for setting up.

Houlton is getting ready for the Humberside Police Lifestyle Night Challenge tomorrow, making sure the children are fuelled up for their night of walking! 💪🍫 These Houlton-branded Mars bars will help keep their energy levels up as they take on the challenge. Good luck to all the participants – we hope you have an amazing night!

Last week was National Apprenticeship Week, and the Houlton team has been busy attending events to promote careers in construction!

A big thank you to everyone who came along – we love seeing the next generation of talent eager to build their careers in construction!

Happy Retirement, Dave Angus! After an incredible 48 years with Houlton, we say a fond farewell to Dave Angus as he embarks on his well-earned retirement. Dave joined Houlton straight from school as an Apprentice Bricklayer, showing dedication and skill that saw him progress to Site Manager in 1991. Since then, he has been a key part of our team, bringing expertise and leadership to every project he’s worked on. Dave will be greatly missed on-site, but we wish him all the best for this exciting new chapter. Thank you, Dave, for your hard work and dedication over the years – enjoy your retirement!
