Civil engineering and construction contractor, Farrans Construction, has been awarded with Investors in People, We Invest In People, Gold Accreditation.

Gold accreditation means that a business has got the policies in place but more than that, it means everyone – from CEO to apprentice takes ownership for making them come to life.

Farrans Construction has over 80 years’ experience of delivering world-class projects across the UK and Ireland, with more than 600 people operating from offices in London, Cambridge, Belfast, Edinburgh and Leeds. Making a positive difference to the communities in which they operate is a shared passion and Farrans places social responsibility at the heart of every scheme.

Dominic Lavery, Managing Director of Farrans, said: “We are delighted to have achieved Gold accreditation having maintained and enhanced a strong people culture since our previous assessment in 2019.

“Overall, this is an excellent result, with all indicators now presenting an advanced level against the framework reinforcing, how we continue to progress and innovate our people practices.

“The skills, hard work and commitment of our people underpin our success – they are the heart of Farrans. There is a genuine sense of loyalty to the Farrans Brand and throughout the organisation.
