We raise £50,000 for charity to celebrate 25 years in business!

After a year of fundraising throughout the business for our 25th anniversary, we managed to raise enough money to be able to give both of our chosen charities, Ronald McDonald House and SIFA Fireside, £25,000 each.

Over the last two months we have been busy purchasing and donating supplies for St Basils’ Christmas shoebox appeal.

We were delighted to attend the Fosse Park autumn jobs fair at the Hilton hotel in Leicester on Friday which was held as part of the ‘Recruit Fosse Park’ campaign which is a free recruitment programme set up by the owners of Fosse Park, The Crown Estate.

Last week we hosted a golf day at Walmley Golf Club to celebrate our 25th Anniversary.

Earlier this month Bobby Friel, Joe McDermott and Kevin Hogan took on the 1,000km Monkey Run in Peru.

The 25th anniversary celebrations continued on Saturday when sixteen of McDermotts’ bravest staff travelled to Wales to take on the Velocity 2 zip wire challenge.

McDermotts was founded in August 1994, so to celebrate our birthday month we organised daytime celebrations for our colleagues across all of our sites and head office.

We are delighted to have been certified by NQA to ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System which builds upon our 3Ps carbon commitment and legal duty to comply with the ESOS Regulations (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme) by December 2019. ISO 50001:2018 is the newly revised international standard for Energy Management providing the most robust framework for optimising energy efficiency in public…

Well done to all the women that completed our first-ever Women in Construction course.

This low loader will soon be making it’s way to us.
