Cyber security threats are escalating across the UK, with more than 40% of businesses and 30% of charities reporting breaches over the past 12 months. Even household names like Marks & Spencer, Co-op and Harrods were recently forced to suspend online operations to contain cyber-attacks.
This surge highlights that cyber-crime is happening right now and it could affect anyone. For organisations, the consequences can be particularly severe, including financial losses, reputational damage and operational disruption. Take a look at this week’s blog to find out what this means for our industry and what Sheriff Construction is doing to protect your data.

Following a strictly academic route isn’t for everyone, meaning plenty of school-leavers are looking for something more practical and hands-on. In such cases, roofing (one of the most in-demand trades in the construction industry) could be the path well worth exploring. Find out more about this rewarding career option in this week’s blog.
The UK government has recently announced that, under the Future Homes Standard (to be published this Autumn), the majority of new build properties will be required to include rooftop solar panels, unless site-specific factors such as shading make it impractical.
