Last week, our directors attended the Wates ‘Construction Midlands Supply Chain Awards 2024’ event, and we are thrilled to announce that McDermotts won the award for Social Value. Contributing to our win was our commitment to the recruitment of ex-offenders and supporting prisoner rehabilitation schemes.
At McDermotts we are committed to eliminating discrimination and valuing diversity in the communities in which we work and within our own workforce. In 2024 we recruited three prison leavers and continually support prisoner rehabilitation schemes, collaborating with West Midlands Prisons Group and His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service.
This award recognises our value of an inclusive environment in which people from differing backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to offer fresh ideas and perspectives, and allows employees to maximise skills, ability and potential by supporting their skills development.
