There’s no time to be idle when lowering carbon emissions ⏰ A four-month anti-idling campaign across Esh’s 32-tonne tipper wagons has been a major success, with drivers reducing the time their vehicles were stationary with the engine running by a staggering 84%. Across the 18 vehicles there was a combined idling time of 392 hours in a month before the trial began, and now this has been reduced to 60 hours in just four months. The total carbon saved equates to 15 return tips from Esh’s County Durham headquarters to London’s Trafalgar Square! We are now gearing up to roll out anti-idling education and vehicle monitoring across our 258-strong fleet - all part of our journey towards net zero.

PlanBEE apprentice 19-year-old Matilda Kenyon has recently completed her three-month placement at Esh on our International Advanced Manufacturing Park (IAMP) site near Sunderland. After her dad heard about PlanBEE (Built Environment Education) on the radio, she decided to apply to get more of a ‘hands on’ experience in the workplace. To do this, she moved from Lancashire to Newcastle to study a Level 4 HNC and Level 5 HND in Modern Methods of Construction. Matilda found her love for construction due to her uncle who also worked in the industry when she was growing up and wanted to follow in his footsteps. See what she has to say about her time on her placement with Esh 👇 Sunderland City Council | South Tyneside Council | NEPO

2024 in pictures 📸 We are signing off the year by sharing some of our favourite moments.   A national three peaks hike, company-wide ‘Steps Challenge’, Macmillan Coffee Morning and supporting Military vs Cancer’s Armed Force’s charity rugby event are just some of the ways our colleagues have gone above and beyond to raise awareness and fundraise for important causes.   Across the sites, in collaboration with our clients, sub-contractors, supply chain and wider stakeholders, together we continue to deliver projects that create a lasting impact for communities. We thank everyone for their continued support.   Finally, we held our inaugural Group Get Together where colleagues gathered to hear more about the journey Esh has been on and what our plans are for the future.   And, that future is bright, as we head into 2025 financially sound, with a doubled cash balance, and the largest forward order book in our history.   From all of us here at Esh, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
