CIH Awards – Friday 27th 2009.
An eventful night for Consortia members.
It was a night of finery at the glamorous and prestigious CIH awards at Holland House Hotel, Cardiff.
For the first time Integrate Consortia sponsored an award for the “Most Community Focussed Contractor” which aims to recognise the work contractors do in the delivery of targeted recruitment and training and community benefits.
The award was won by G Purchase Construction for their contribution towards employment and training initiatives. Detailed below is a brief summary:
G. Purchase Construction Ltd is working closely with its partners and stakeholders in North Wales to target employment opportunities at people from within the communities it serves. The company has approached the challenge in a number of different ways:
• Adopting a multi-agency approach, engaging with Jobcentre Plus, Working Links (no longer operating), Communities First and others,
• Targetting our Clients Customers through mailshot letters followed up with Job Fairs to discuss job opportunities in more detail and enable Customers to meet our Team,
• Holding ‘Meet the Buyer’ events to encourage existing local companies and sole traders to work with us to deliver the programmes,
• Supporting our supply chain by entering into long-term agreements thereby giving them the opportunity to increase their workforce.
G. Purchase Construction Ltd is delighted to have received the Award for Most Community Focussed Contractor at the CIH Welsh Housing Awards 2009. The company believes that the recognition it has received for its commitment to local communities, training and employment will serve as a beacon for other organisations that seek to repeat the company’s success.
In addition the Consortia members who were also recognised for their contribution were :
Empowering and Involving Communities (sponsor PSS Consulting)
- Taff Housing Association: BME Housing Project
Housing Hero (sponsor Leadbitter Group)
- Valleys to Coast Housing: Jason King, Gareth Weston and Melvin Williams
Developing and Regenerating Communities (sponsor WAG aka Pat Lewis)
- United Welsh Housing Association: Bargoed Regeneration Project
I am sure you will agree that the award ceremony is a place where all outstanding achievements can be recognised for their valued contribution to our work within Housing. Well done everyone.
