Bruce Hawes MCIOB, Sarra Hawes MCIOB and Lisa Pickard had the pleasure of attending the SUSSEX HERITAGE TRUST Awards Launch yesterday afternoon at Saltdean Lido as one of the sponsors. The event began with an introduction from SHT Chair David Cowan, followed by an engaging talk from Derek Leaver, who has dedicated over 14 years to the restoration of the lido. Architect Phillip Naylor also shared his insights and experiences working on this remarkable and award-winning retrofit. After the presentations, guests were invited to tour the building, witnessing the incredible transformation and learning more about the available facilities.

Sarra Hawes MCIOB very much enjoyed sharing her journey and immense construction experience with the room. A huge thank you to Harry Roberts for inviting Sarra to talk and to Dave Longman and team at the hospice for hosting the event.

Company Director Sarra Hawes MCIOB is delighted to be speaking at tonight's Eastbourne Property Network at St Wilfrid's Hospice, Eastbourne. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

We’re thrilled to be transforming the studio space for Project Art Works, a collective of neurodiverse artists and activists based in Hastings. This refurbishment is all about creating an accessible, state-of-the-art studio space that supports larger workshops, exhibitions, and creative freedom for ALL.   From installing new accessible bathrooms to upgrading facades and insulation, we're ensuring this space is safe, energy-efficient, and welcoming for artists and students alike.   Fun Fact: During our work under the Linton Road bridge arches, we carried out a UXO survey to detect potentially unexploded wartime bombs – safety first!   We can’t wait to see the stunning art that will be created here once the project is complete.  Read more here https://lnkd.in/exHRQxwS #InclusiveDesign #Construction #ProjectArtWorks #HawesConstructionGroup 

Safety is non-negotiable in construction, and face fit testing plays a key role in protecting workers from hazardous materials. At Hawes Construction Group, we’ve invested in ensuring our team is equipped with properly fitting respiratory protective equipment (RPE).  What is face fit testing?   It ensures that RPE, like reusable and disposable masks, forms a tight seal to prevent exposure to harmful substances. This isn’t just about comfort—it’s a legal requirement under the COSHH Regulations 2002. Sarra is our certified face fit tester! Sarra has completed the Kentec Qualitative Face Fit Training, making sure every mask fits perfectly and complies with safety regulations, keeping our team safe and compliant. We’re not just meeting standards—we’re setting them!   From face fit testing to having Sarra as our fire warden, we’re committed to a culture of safety, protecting everyone on-site.

🏗️ Building Bright Futures at Hawes Construction! 🏗️ As part of National Apprenticeship Week, we caught up with three aspiring professionals gaining hands-on experience at Hawes Construction in Eastbourne! Our Vice Principal of Business Development, Donna Harfield, met with Site Carpentry apprentice Matthew Boydell Avery, ESC T-Level student Marley Dann (Design, Surveying & Planning), and Chartered Surveyor & Project Management degree apprentice Molly Wild to hear about their journeys. 🛠️ Matthew shared: “Since I’ve started my apprenticeship, I’ve developed my knowledge of the trade. I’m in the place that I want to be, I’m gaining knowledge every day and it’s the perfect building block to what I’d like to do in the future.” 📐 Marley said: “Everyone at the College and at Hawes have been so supportive, it’s a great environment to work in and I’ve built lots of relationships with people!” 🏗️ Molly added: “For me, the most rewarding part of an apprenticeship is it helps you get where you want to be and pushes you towards your goal.” A huge thank you to the team at Hawes Construction for their continued support of apprenticeships and for providing invaluable opportunities to the next generation of skilled professionals! #NAW2025 #WhyStudyAnywhereElse #ESCG
