This week, our Social Value Lead, Sasha Silk, attended two career fairs in Kent: Rainham School for Girls on Wednesday with Laura Downing, and The Lenham School on Thursday with Grace Poll.   Grace, our Management Trainee, shared: "I really enjoyed my time at The Lenham School's careers fair, sharing insights into the construction industry and helping to break down some of the stigmas students had—especially among the girls. Growing up, I found my way into the industry through family experience, but I never had the opportunity to hear from external voices about the career possibilities in construction. It felt great to represent Apex and share the amazing opportunities they’ve given me to grow, study, and gain valuable experience. I hope Sasha and I inspired students to see the exciting potential of a career in construction!"   #SocialValue #CareersInConstruction #NextGeneration

Yesterday, Caroline Gumble (Dr), CEO of the The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), returned to MidKent College to tour their newest training centres. This included a stop at the Retrofit Skills Training Facility that Apex had constructed earlier in the year. Caroline had previously visited the site during the construction phase, so it was a pleasure to have her back to see the finished article. As well as the tour, Steph welcomed the chance to chat with Caroline about the growth of professionals, social value and training opportunities alongside Lewis O'Callaghan, Richard Wilde, Beverley Lawrence and Helen Patel. Thank you to Beverley and Helen for inviting us to be a part of the meet and to Lewis and Richie for hosting - we look forward to reciprocating next year! #greenskills #retrofit #constructionskills #trainingfacility #newbuild #newbuildeducation

Did you spot our CEO Floortje Hoette on last night's Kent Tonight programme on KMTV? She was talking about the huge difference the The National Lottery Heritage Fund has made to The Lift - without their funding we wouldn't be about to start work on the restoration. The interview was in celebration of the National Lottery's 30th anniversary so a big 'happy birthday' to them! Link to the interview in the comments. #lotteryfunding #mediacoverage

A busy day out of the office today! I started the morning at the Constructing Excellence Kent , where Steph Harris and I had the privilege of presenting on behalf of Apex Contractors Limited. We shared our journey of turning social value from theory into meaningful practice. A huge thank you to Constructing Excellence for the opportunity to speak—we hope our discussion offered some valuable insights! In the afternoon, I headed over to Westvale Park in Horley to catch up with Chris Armstrong and Darren Wilson, who have achieved a major milestone on site with the support of CPC Interiors. Roof truss installation is now underway on the front elevation above the meeting and consultation rooms, while the back elevation trusses over the hall area were completed last week. Next up: brick and block work on the gable ends, felt and batten for the roof, and window installation. Exciting progress ahead! #constructingexcellencekent #socialvalue #construction #sitevisit
