We are proud to announce a new partnership with Concrete Repairs Limited (CRL) as a Bronze Sponsoring Partner. This partnership reinforces our commitment empowering former service personnel with essential skills for successful careers in the construction and infrastructure sectors.
Founded in 1955, CRL has grown into a leading specialist contractor, providing end-to-end services for inspecting, repairing, rehabilitating, and strengthening structural concrete assets. Renowned for delivering innovative engineering solutions across sectors such as marine, infrastructure, and renewable energy, CRL serves a broad range of public and private clients. With a strong focus on safety and sustainability, the company operates through a national network of seven regional offices across the UK, and one in Australia.
As a member of the Supply Chain Sustainability School, CRL is committed to weaving social value into every facet of their operations. This commitment aligns with our objectives of promoting social value and community engagement, forging a robust partnership for significant social impact.
Daren King, Northern Regional Director at CRL emphasised their community focus: "Our dedication to social value and community engagement is at the core of our operations. We are committed to fostering long-lasting relationships within our communities, understanding their needs, and responding effectively. Partnering with Building Heroes enables us to extend these values to support service leavers, veterans, and the broader military community as they transition to civilian life, enhancing both their futures and the communities they join."
Chris Charles, CEO of Building Heroes, shared his excitement about the partnership: "We are delighted to welcome CRL into our community. Their enduring commitment to social impact and sustainability in construction perfectly aligns with our mission. This partnership will provide our learners with access to expertise and work placements in highly specialised areas of construction, broadening their understanding of opportunities as they transition into the civilian workforce."
The collaboration will enhance Building Heroes' programmes, introducing employment engagement sessions and insight days that provide valuable insights into the diverse sectors CRL operates in. These initiatives are designed to prepare Building Heroes' learners with a potential passion for the sector to progress onto meaningful employment.
