🤩 Our plan is WORKING and Teesside is on the up! 💪 Jobs are vital to tackling inequality and deprivation. If we want our area to succeed we need to do it with investment and jobs for local people 🤝 … and that’s exactly what we’re doing. Unemployment in Redcar and Cleveland is DOWN by 7% when compared to 2010. The work we’re doing at Teesworks and the Teesside Freeport to secure investment and create good-quality jobs for local people is transforming our area. Not only are we creating hundreds of construction jobs, but we’re seeing hundreds more full time operational roles now being created at: 💨 SeAH Wind 🏭 Net Zero Teesside ♻️ Circular Fuels ✈️ Willis Aviation With the return of steelmaking at British Steel, new firms investing at Wilton and existing business in Redcar and Cleveland growing, we’re seeing the rewards of our efforts over the last few years. 👉 This is a real indicator that our plan for Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool is working, but there’s still much more to do. We need to keep going to secure more investment and create more good-quality jobs for local people and make sure Teesworks becomes the new ICI - providing opportunities and careers for our community for decades to come 👊

Working in live environments with tight budgets and timelines is nothing new to us—it’s where we thrive, especially in education projects. At Caboolture State High School, we took things up a notch. We transformed an old on-site shed into a state-of-the-art Health Hub, where students can put their vocational health skills into practice in a space that feels just like the real thing. This was a game-changer for the school, with many students heading straight from this course to Caboolture Hospital next door to put their training to use. And the results speak for themselves! Take a look at the before-and-after images—what started as a humble shed is now a modern, dynamic learning space. It’s amazing what can happen when creativity meets functionality. At Ink Duck, we love turning unexpected spaces into something extraordinary.

As we start Global Goals Week, we're highlighting how the built environment, in particularly structural and civil engineering, can significantly contribute to creating a brighter, more sustainable future for the world. Today, Sutcliffe is focusing on 'Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure'. Innovation is at the core of everything we do, as showcased by our Longshaw Drive project in Salford - a groundbreaking, council-led housing initiative constructed by Seddon. By building new homes to Passivhaus standards, energy consumption is minimised and bills are reduced for residents while also helping to tackle the housing crisis in the city of Salford. This project is an example of delivering sustainable, forward-thinking solutions that benefit both people and the planet. Industry innovation is one of the leading contributors to making our landscape a greener, healthier place to be.

In the rapidly developing landscape of Texas, the northeast region of Houston is experiencing significant growth, driven by the construction of the Grand Parkway (State Highway 99). This highway serves as a crucial lifeline, transforming rural farmland into thriving residential, commercial, and industrial areas. Previously isolated, this region now enjoys improved connectivity, making it an attractive location for families and businesses. The Grand Parkway has sparked a surge in housing developments, offering spacious homes and access to urban amenities. It has also catalyzed economic growth, drawing in commercial and industrial projects. Infrastructure investments accompanying the highway, including improved utilities and public services, lay the groundwork for sustainable growth. While development is vital, efforts are made to balance it with environmental stewardship, preserving green spaces and natural habitats. The project's success highlights the importance of collaboration among government agencies, private developers, and community stakeholders. Ultimately, the Grand Parkway symbolizes progress, opportunity, and a promising future for the northeast region of Houston.
