Walter Lilly

At Walter Lilly, our commitment to sustainability is driving a real change in the way we construct our projects. Our people are passionate about leading the way in responsible construction, proving that building sustainably is not only possible but also essential. Every project we undertake incorporates sustainable practices to some degree, with many pushing the boundaries even further 🌱 The Urban Nature Project at the Natural History Museum is a powerful example of how ambitious sustainability targets can be achieved 🎯 From operating a diesel-free site and using the UK’s first electric concrete pump to sourcing materials responsibly and locally wherever possible, this project shows that adventurous sustainability goals are achievable within the industry 👷♀️ The insights and lessons we’ve gained from this project will help to shape our future builds, allowing us to construct smarter, cleaner and greener 🌿 #sustainable #sustainableconstruction #netzerocarbon #green #cleanplant #pushingboundaries #sustainabiltygoals #urbannatureproject #naturalhistorymuseum

FACT FRIDAY: We’ve been incredibly fortunate to have so many loyal team members over the years – a true cornerstone of our success. Few, however, were as long-serving as Dick Tucker. Dick joined us as a 17-year-old apprentice on 1st January 1927, starting out as a painter before becoming a supervisor at our Streatham branch. He later ran our Thornton Heath stores, eventually retiring in the late 1990’s at the impressive age of 85 – marking the company’s longest known period of service! 🏅 Many others have also dedicated a large majority, if not all, of their careers with Walter Lilly. It’s stories like Tucker’s that highlight our commitment to being a people company with a track record of ‘growing our own’ 🌟 We are immensely grateful for the dedication and hard work of all our colleagues, past and present, and remain committed to supporting them with the training and development they need. After all, we believe that “if we can grow our people, we can grow the business.” #factfriday #employee #longservice #loyalty #dedication #hardwork #excellence #team #appreciation
