WORLD CLASS: We're backing the BCSA - British Constructional Steelwork Association's new industry manifesto which has been launched at the UK House of Lords. It is urging politicians to take action to sustain and grow the UK's world class constructional steelwork industry. Our managing director Simon Boyd was one of the speakers at the event where he stressed the importance of access to finance. The BSCA's manifesto includes five measures: - End cash retentions - Public project procurement - Fit for purpose apprenticeships to meet the growing skills gap - Access to finance to innovate - Support for the steelmakers It is hoped that politicians will adopt the BSCA's policy ideas for their own manifestos for the general election later this year. The constructional steelwork market is worth approximately £1.6 billion per year and circa 60,000 people are employed in the sector. We're proud to support the BCSA and it's campaign. #steel #structuralsteel #structuralsteelfabrication #design #engineering #manufacturing #construction

In case you missed it, listen now - CEO Mark Peck and Rodney Small from ONE North End were in conversation with Portia Clark about how we're approaching equity in the Regional Transportation Plan. The JRTA is supporting trusted, community-rooted organizations including ONE, YWCA Halifax, and OSO planning + design that are already working in areas where transportation acts as an enabler, or barrier, to help us gather first-person experiences and perspective on transportation issues. As work on the plan relies heavily on data collected through standard sources, these first-person accounts with the transportation system are an important component as plan development continues.

Rich recently took the campaign to Stamford, CT. By all accounts, Stamford is growing and thriving. When we think about the change we hope to see in this country, it’s easy to look past the communities that are doing well. In fact, even within these communities, a sense of apathy can begin to creep in. For communities like this, the question becomes, is the community working for all of us or just some of us? And as we move forward, how can we make sure that everyone is moving forward together? Here's more in our video from the campaign trail on Stamford, CT. https://bit.ly/4beca0D
