By this point in January, plenty of people have realised their New Year’s resolutions haven’t quite gone to plan. In fact, the second Friday of January is often dubbed ‘Quitter’s Day’ – when many people have already admitted defeat on their goals.
But even if you didn’t set a resolution, January still brings a natural pause for reflection – a chance to take stock and think about where you’re heading, including in your career. If that sounds familiar, construction could be worth a closer look. It’s long been seen as a solid, dependable choice, but it’s also evolving fast – with more high-tech roles than many people realise. Read this week’s blog to explore a few of those future-facing careers in construction.
The start of a new year often brings a sense of fresh energy. Many people use January to reflect, reset and set intentions for the months ahead, whether that is in their personal lives, their health or their careers.
At Sheriff Construction, we believe this is also a valuable moment for businesses. While individuals might call it a resolution, for our company it means taking time to set out our strategy, goals and aspirations. It is about being clear on what we want to achieve and how we conduct our business during that process. This January, we are doing exactly that and, while our wider business strategy work is still to come, one area where we have already been able to define some ambitions is social value. Read this week’s blog to find out what we want to build on in 2026.
As we approach the end of 2025, it’s once again time for Sheriff Construction to look back at everything this year has presented and begin making plans for the new year ahead.
From celebrating our 20th anniversary with a gala and charity challenge to securing some of our most significant roofing and brickwork contracts ever; from inspiring young people into our sector to building up our newest sister companies; and from achieving new accreditations to developing our response to cyber security, quality and social value – this year has truly given us lots to feel proud of. Join us in remembering our most special moments through our last blog of 2025.
This week, three members of the Sheriff Brickworks team delivered online workshops to Level 1 and Level 2 bricklaying students at Barnet College.
The sessions were held at the request of our client, Fairview, as part of their commitment to supporting the local community around the Victoria Quarter site (where Sheriff is currently delivering a major brickwork contract). Find out more in an extra mini blog for this week.
