Reliable Contractors

Today marks World Mental Health Day 🧠🌎 This year's theme is to prioritize mental health in the workplace, and we wish to emphasize the importance of creating a supportive and understanding environment for employees. Supporting mental health not only benefits the individuals but also contributes to a more productive and positive work environment. Let's continue to raise awareness, provide support, and break the stigma surrounding mental health in the construction industry and beyond. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #ReliableContractors

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month share this post and help us remind everyone to touch, look and check their breasts regularly. Anyone can get breast cancer, so it’s important to know your normal. ✅ Touch your breasts ✅ Look for changes ✅ Check anything new or unusual with a GP There’s no right way to check. Just make sure you do it regularly. Your breasts can change for many reasons – like the menopause, pregnancy and breastfeeding, puberty or even over your period. So, if you check them regularly, you’ll be able to spot any changes that should be checked out by a GP. What’s your normal? https://lnkd.in/etjqEP45

We are proud to support Black History Month! 🌟 This year's theme, "Reclaiming Narratives," is a powerful call to action to recognize and correct the stories of Black history and culture.

Reclaiming narratives is crucial for fostering inclusivity and diversity. By amplifying and honouring the true narratives of Black history, we can create a more inclusive and understanding society. Embracing diversity and inclusivity isn't just a goal for us – it's a fundamental part of who we are. We are committed to creating a workplace where everyone's stories are heard, valued, and celebrated. Join us in honouring Black History Month and embracing the theme of Reclaiming Narratives! #BlackHistoryMonth #DiversityandInclusion #ReliableContractors

On site this morning with Kam Hundal (SEE Business Partner – Employment & Skills) for BBV. Meeting with Melody Gowe our first placement from the recent Women in Construction program held at South and City College in Bordesley Green Birmingham, getting women into construction.
