'Reclaiming Narratives'. That's the theme for Black History Month 2024. The theme is all about recognising and correcting the narratives of Black history and culture. It's also about correcting historical inaccuracies and showcasing the untold success stories and the full complexity of Black heritage. It’s about taking control of the stories and honouring our heroes while challenging the narratives that have often overlooked the contributions and achievements of Black individuals. Speaking of untold success stories, did you know about these three icons in the world of construction? Who would you add to our list? 👇 #ReclaimingNarratives #BlackHistoryMonth Bristol Black History Month Magazine Adjaye Associates

"It's the hospitals you were born in. The house you go home to at the end of the day. It's the places you go to work. It's the roads you drive on. It's the best job in the world. There is no other industry in the UK that touches every part of our lives like construction." Hear that sound? 🎤 That's a mic drop from Danny Clarke, Director of Engagement for England at CITB (not a geography teacher). This week, Brand Manager Alice went to UK Construction Week to find out how we can boost morale in the wake of ISG's recent collapse. We also started doing daily content reviews for our social channels. Why? Adam and Daniel tell you- just watch the vlog. And if you were wondering whether On The Tools walked home with any trophies this week, stay tuned until the end 👀 What would you say to someone to make them want to join the trade? 👇 #ConstructionVlog #SkillsGap
